Hacker News redesign

In plain words

Hacker News Redesign is an alternative interface for the popular news aggregation site, launched in 2015. It presents Hacker News content with a updated visual design and layout. The redesign aims to improve the user experience of browsing technology and startup news, comments, and discussions. It is intended for regular Hacker News users who prefer a modernized interface while accessing the same community-driven content.

  I made a modern web UI for Hacker News2022 · modernhn.com · ▲308

  Hey HN, I made this free browser extension that modernizes the Hacker News design. I previously launched Modern for Wikipedia [1] here back in December, and it seemed like the obvious next choice to build one for HN too! So I've taken what I learned from building that, and have spent all my spare time this year building Modern for HN. I realize this won't be for everyone, but it was a fun project to work on, and I'm really happy with the result so far. Hope you like it too! Lots more planned for future updates, and suggestions welcome :) [1]…
