My pet peeves: No dark mode, sorely lacking for me for reading in the dark, then there is no indication at all that you've got replies (at least a tiny number next to threads perhaps?) and the up/downvote buttons are too small to reliably tap on mobile. Oh, and enumeration support would be fantastic, the workarounds tend to be hard to read.

Other than that, I think it's delightfully ugly and lightweight.

I use the Dark Reader extension for Firefox; HN looks fine under that.

Having to separately configure individual sites or web apps for dark mode is a nonstarter anyway; if you could do that, would you really want to?

Ideally, you should be able to set your device to dark mode, and everything would follow: every app, every site in the browser.

Some combination of setting your OS to dark mode and using a dark mode extension in the browser sort of approximates that, imperfectly.

No need to set it per individual page. There are (arguably easy to use) ways for a web page to know the user's OS-level color scheme preference [0].

We still need the workaround via extensions or Userstyles for the ones that don't implement that, sadly.

You may not be down for an app/mobile experience, but Harmonic is beautiful and has a dark mode

I can't seem to find Harmonic in the iOS App Store, is it Android-only?

Also, HN apps tend to make it harder to send interesting things to Roam or the laptop or Safari's reading list, the website makes that really convenient.

Thanks for the recommendation, just switched to it!

I believe the internet term is dank air.

Yeah! I really miss all those ads (not!)
