Another Request for Hacker News and Dark Mode

6 pointsby eandealmost 2 years ago
This request has been posted two months and all I can do is pile on another request within the comment section for Dark Mode.<p>I don&#x27;t want to install a js or pay for it and just use my Safari browser. It can&#x27;t be that hard for HW to add that simple feature.<p>Saves a lot of energy and better for the eyes. Let&#x27;s make it happen.

I&#x27;m not sure what you mean <i>exactly</i> by &quot;I don&#x27;t want to install a js&quot;?<p>Does this mean you don&#x27;t want to run JavaScript at all? Ever? That&#x27;s a pretty tall order in today&#x27;s world. I can understand having JavaScript disabled by default. But that said, JavaScript can be useful for what you want.<p>I know this because I empathize greatly (except I prefer light mode). In any case, when I saw this comment:<p><pre><code> https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32719488 </code></pre> in a previous thread, I immediately created the appropriate bookmark-let so that my eyes wouldn&#x27;t go crazy trying to read dark-mode pages.<p>Maybe it can serve as a solution for you too if you&#x27;re willing to compromise a bit.

&gt; Another Request for Hacker News and Dark Mode<p>s&#x2F;for Hacker News and Dark Mode&#x2F;for Dark Mode on Hacker News<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t want to install a js or pay for it<p>I assume you mean a JS injector extension when you say &quot;install a js,&quot; you don&#x27;t need a JS injector, but you <i>do</i> need a CSS injector. There are no features you should pay for on HN.<p>---<p>Adding on to the discussion, I don&#x27;t mind light mode in websites. HN is like a mid-2000&#x27;s throwback website, there wasn&#x27;t dark mode back then, but it&#x27;s 2023, and people are used to dark mode. Why not give them what they want?

FWIW I really enjoy using _Modern for Hacker News,_ [1] a free extension that enables dark mode. available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge... and soon, Safari (according to its maker).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32768590">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32768590</a>
