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

This is cool, thanks for this! I have added

      @media (min-width: 768px) {
        body {
          padding: 0 40px;
        }
      }

because it felt crowded on a desktop screen. I do feel like removing the :visited color difference is a usability negative.

Also the 'add comment' input isn't a button so it doesn't get a normal pointer:

      input[type='submit'] {
        cursor: pointer;
      }

HN's table layout makes it tough to do normal things you'd expect on a site like this.. kinda surprising to see a no-kidding table layout these days. It brings back bad memories. Thanks for posting.

Those are some good changes, I also change to something like:

    a:visited {
        color: gray;
    }

to help see which items on the front page I've clicked on

Thanks. I've fixed the pointer issue.

And yeah, HN's html and css is shocking.
