darkreader VS darkhn

change to light mode, and try out https://darkreader.org/

I was able to reproduce and reported this to Dark Reader https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader/issues/11952

I highly recommend utilizing a dark reader.

I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that's unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. the police).

If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes.

i use https://darkreader.org/ for chrome and don't see flies 99% of the time

As someone who enjoys and prefers high-density of information, I agree.

However, I do wish HN would add support for @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark). By now it's one of the few sites that are unpleasantly bright to read when in a dark environment. (When I don't forget, I visit https://darkhn.herokuapp.com/ instead.)

It works quite well utilizing KISS principle; if you want dark mode then there's https://darkhn.herokuapp.com and https://hckrnews.com if you want to see dead submissions.

Not everything has to look like reddit, instagram or imgur, pinterest. The minimal site interface allowed me to browse it on an older iPad once while I couldn't access sites and content of above mentioned.

Thank you all for the feedback and support for DarkHN. I'll be working on fixing some of the bugs on the application (unexpected 403 errors, low contrast, etc).

If you're interested in the code or would like to contribute, take a look at the GitHub repo: https://github.com/xtrp/darkhn

For those interested, it's written in Node.js with a simple Express.js server. More info is available on the repo.

Thank you all again for taking a look at this project!
