Would HN Accept PRs?
3 points by jorisw 2 hours ago | 5 comments
There's a few things about Hacker News that I believe could be improved and I would like to propose changes for in code.

I don't suppose there is a repo for it? If not, could/should there be?

Things I'd like to add are:

- Dark mode style sheet

- Clarification (by ways of rename or tooltips) of profile properties (showdead, noprocrast, maxvisit, minaway, delay)

And you can contact hn@ycombinator.com if you're serious. But I'm not sure they do actually accept contributions. And anyway a dark mode is something that has been talked about for years and there doesn't seem to be much interest in adding it to the site. You may try other -external- options to add a dark mode through a browser extension.


Building an extension is a good idea imho.

A long time ago I did that to make Canonical's Launchpad easier to read - mostly making tables look nicer and so on. I was really nice. I saw similar initiatives at Workday as well - browser plugins that added extra functionality to the development instances of the application.

Dark Reader extension works great for dark mode
