Hacker Read

I forked this from something somebody posted here a while ago, but I cannot remember it. If anybody knows the source, I'd be more than happy to throw a comment in there for credit.

Looks like everyone has their own hn design. :) Here is mine: https://github.com/bjourne/readable-userstyles/blob/master/h... It's a user stylesheet so you need the Stylish plugin to use it.

I haven't set up a style for google reader (yet) but Stylish extension for Firefox does a good job letting me customize sites. I don't use it on every site, but places I view regularly I tweak.

I have a style for news.yc http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3085416

Aesthetic changes like this seem better suited to being Stylish[1] layouts or Greasemonkey[2] scripts, rather than full-blown extensions.

A quick userscripts.org search for Hacker News reinforces this: http://userscripts.org/search?cref=http%3A%2F%2Fuserscripts....

I realize this kind of defeats the purpose, but I applied just a tiny bit of CSS (and Open Sans) to make it look slightly better. Here's the userstyle in the hope it's useful to some:

Indeed. Appears the "stylish" extension and/or https://userstyles.org would be a natural fit for this?

I use a Chrome extension called georgify [1]. It makes the site better looking by changing the typography via CSS.

Is stylish available for Chrome?

Because then you could do it cross-browser with Firefox.

In fact it looks like some folk have been busy:

This is why I use StyleBot! I don't customize every page I visit, but it makes a huge difference for sites I view regularly.

Here's my custom Hacker News style: https://i.imgur.com/KbP5VAX.png
