    Dark-mode version of Hacker News. This is mostly to be able to read Hacker News at night without hurting my eyes. Hackers have to sleep too! For all the features that you have to be signed-in for work, those links take you to the real HN site. Similarly, the pages not supported by the api (past, comments, submit, and from) take you to the real pages as well. Also, the "Light Hacker News" link in the top right corner takes you to whichever page you're currently on in the real website. The routes mirror those of the real website, so if you're ever on Hacker News and want to switch to this dark…

Personally, I was surprised how useful it turned out to be when browsing around HN. On the linked page you can find install link(s) from web-browser stores, and demo video/screenshots of the features[1] What do you think ? [1] including, browsing content with…

    Hi HN, This is a little "HN Reader" experiment I made using a domain hack of "news.ycombinato.com" <- notice the "r" is missing. Basically, I thought it would be cool to make a "clone" of the "Hacker News" URL so you can quickly navigate to "YCombinato" from any post on "news.ycombinator" by just dropping the r in the domain. The benefit is a few extra features like; sorting, searching etc... Unfortunately I realized it's essentially a phishing attack :( according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers... but it's still usable and hopefully…
