Ask HN: Is possible to rebuild hnews like lobste.rs?

3 pointsby bitdeepover 6 years ago
I ask because lobste.rs use a big font and is even better to reading on pc. Or at last add on our profile a way to use a different font size.

In what way does ⌘+ (Mac) or Ctrl+ (Windows) not satisfy your need? I prefer changing font size that way, because it's simple and works on every site, and I can change it depending on whether I'm using a big monitor or not.

Is it possible? Of course... if you can change the topbar color there&#x27;s no reason you shouldn&#x27;t be able to change the font size. As with the topbar color, changing the font size wouldn&#x27;t even have to affect anyone but the current logged in user.<p>Will it happen? Probably not.

I&#x27;m very happy with HN as it is. If you want a bigger font then you can do that in your own browser with plugins, user CSS etc.

Thanks for the tip, lobste.rs looks good
