Ask HN: Dark mode for HN please?

Well, if we want HN to follow best modern web practices, I recommend rewriting the whole thing with React/Node.js using TypeScript. Then, we can get a proper CSS framework in place like Material that will really allow us to get everything looking really good. I can design a cool looking loading screen that says "HN" while the JS is loading in the background.

Blockchain. No one said blockchain yet. We have to blockchain it. Blockchain it with cryptos.

Also, if there's any way to incorporate machine learning algorithms into it, please try to find a way to do that.

Of course. Obviously, we'll store the algorithm on the blockchain and train it with a custom YCombinator bitcoin that replaces karma.

Also add a VR and AR, that will be super cool.

All this will be AI powered, I assume?

Ironically, AI itself uses electricity.

I think this is now my highest voted comment on HN.

I don't know how to feel about that.

I agree. Currently HN pages load instantly which in these days can be disconcerting.

And weights sooo little. It should have at least 10MB js framework bundle as my fiber link is bored.

Aw man that sounds really cool. I bet you’ll only need a team of 5 people to do it too.

What’s the tool chain manager look like for managing the build process manager?

We should probably redeploy it on Kubernetes so the backend can scale, one c5.xlarge instance per session to keep up with the requests.

Oh please, React is so yesteryear. With WebAssembly, we can rewrite the HN frontend in Rust! \o/

I think you are jumping the gun. First we need a scrum master and product owner to make this Agile.

Let's rewrite this thing in C and compile it to webassembly!

I think it should be Vue, what with the patents-clause with React and everything
