Comment on Show HN: I built a Hacker News userscript to make this site more legible

Comments

Very impressive and very clean. I’ve set up many user scripts for websites I browse for all of my devices. User scripts are indispensable to me.

Two quirks:

1. In Safari on my iPad, “add comment” is invisible, since it still uses the white font from vanilla HN. I’ve fixed this by adding “color: #333;” just below your existing “background-color: white;”

2. There seems to be no way to indicate if I have already read a post. In vanilla HN, read posts are slightly more faint. This script breaks that by overriding all links, including a:visited.

Otherwise a nice set of great QoL changes.

Ah, I'll take a look at those. Thanks.
