Ask HN: Are there any alternative front ends for HN?
You can checkout this repo and see if something is more appealing to you: https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
I personally just use Stylus and have a custom css for making things a but more readable and user friendly.
There's also this extension that just refines a couple things: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

Show HN: Hacker News User Information on Hover
Speaking of checking people's profiles, on mouseover with Refined Hacker News [1] installed, I see you don't have a bio set up.

I also have HackerSmacker [2] and Momento for Hacker News [3] user tagging. I've only really used Hacker Smacker to make a note to self about propensity for great contributions, and probably installed Momento with expanding that intent in mind.

Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on HN?
It seems that HN has a lot of anti-user features for the sake of it. Perhaps the rationale for graying out self posts is to make them not stand out (so that the post from OP doesn't get any undue advantage over the comments), but it's just an accessibility nightmare. It's as if people with poor eyesight were not welcome here.
I use Refined Hacker News https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news which alleviates some pain points, but unfortunately it doesn't fix this issue.

Ask HN: What userscripts/styles do you use for HN?
I find https://hw.leftium.com/ much more readable, but it's read-only (can't vote/comment/submit). And due to caching some recent comments are missing.
So for those rare occasions I use news.ycombinator.com. https://hw.leftium.com/ has links to the original HN page. Plus I have a bookmarklet that toggles between the two.
Refined Hacker News[1] makes the original HN site a little nicer to use.

Server-Side Rendering Is a Thiel Truth (2020)
Not that this should be the answer, but there are a lot of HN browser plugins. Most have at least some level of theming and inline commenting. I'm currently a fan of Refined Hacker News (no affiliation) - https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news - but I'm sure there are others just as good out there.

API Update: Continued access to our API for moderators
Hacker news on y Combinator seems like an OK option, at least for those who are tech focused and prefer the old interface. There's the Refined Hacker News which, while not as good as Reddit Enhancement Suite, does make it a lot more bearable. But I don't think Hacker news will really appeal to the masses. There's no communities or subbreddits or any other grouping of users/posts.

Show HN: Hacker News user experience enhancement browser extension
Great extension. I use it heavily. The problem is that the developer seems to have given up on it.
You'll need this PR to use it without errors: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/pull/125

Ask HN: How do you get notified of reply comments on HN?
I just go to my profile -> comments page and take a few seconds to check my most recent comments.
I have this extension that highlights any new comments, which makes it a lot easier. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

Show HN: Bookmarklet to Highlight OP's Username
Note the Refined Hacker News browser extension does this automatically, and more: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
This bookmarklet might be a nice option on mobile. I prefer to view via my own HckrNews web app, which also highlights the OP: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/35076225

Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News
yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering
only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)
but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D

Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood

Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot
I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].
Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?
[0] More than half of the past year's most popular Tesla articles were negative: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru...

The Man Who Killed Google Search
It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.
All I want to do is search.
No AI.
No ads.
No shopping.
Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.
I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.
Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.
Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.
It can't really just be me, can it?
