Would HN Accept PRs?

3•jorisw•1h ago

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)

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.
