Show HN: Dark Mode for Hacker News
Posted by omer_k 2 hours ago
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!
