In plain words
Modern Wiki is a web interface that presents Wikipedia content with an updated design. Launched in December 2021, it rebuilds the familiar Wikipedia experience using contemporary UI principles. The tool is for anyone who wants to read Wikipedia articles but prefers a cleaner, more modern visual presentation. It accesses the same underlying Wikipedia data while offering an alternative way to browse and read entries.

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