Show HN: Dark Mode for Hacker News

I read HN every day, usually late at night and have seen people request a dark mode many times. Basically, I couldn't find one that I liked, so I built the one that I've always wanted.

It's inspired by terminal and IDE themes.

A few cool features:

- j/k to move, Enter to open, v to cycle density, 1–9 to switch themes, Esc to close

- Three density modes: compact, comfortable, and an immersive reading view

- 8 terminal-inspired themes (dracula, solarized, monokai, one dark, etc.)

- Article preview pane that pulls OG metadata so you can skim without leaving the feed

Stack: vanilla TypeScript + Vite, Cloudflare Pages Functions, CapacitorJS for the iOS/Android wrappers.

Android and iOS apps coming soon, if folks request it.

Would especially appreciate feedback and upvotes.

Thanks for reading this far!

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Just added it as a PWA.
