Hacker News Redesign

In plain words

Hacker News Redesign is a modified interface for the Hacker News website, created by Hila Peleg. It offers an alternative visual layout and user experience for browsing technology and startup news. The project is designed for Hacker News users who prefer a different presentation of the site's content. It launched in 2014 and is available at hilapeleg.io.

  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]…
