Now if only Hacker News would implement it!

I wish Hacker News had better mobile CSS in general.

I currently use 'DARK READER' for hacker news and it works quite well using the 'Filter+' theme engine.

The problem with browser extensions is that they're a massive security risk.

On some sites I've used it to get a good baseline then export the CSS and modify it from there.

How do you get your browser to even load custom CSS without an extension?

Without an extension, I don’t know an easy way. You could just build your own extensions from scratch and load it there. I used it to style my own sites for dark mode.

In my browser, Preferences > Advanced > Style sheet.

I use the following: https://userstyles.org/styles/113994/hacker-news-dark

Works great.

I've put an updated version here. This updated version is an UserCSS, which means it can be automatically enabled/disabled based on system Dark Mode setting.

Awesome, and I see you fixed the vote button colors.

My wife would be very grateful as I read Hacker News in bed every night and it lights the whole room up with all its white pixels.

Have you tried inverting the colours?

That’s a good idea! On iOS I configured the Accessibility Shortcut to enable Smart Invert when I triple-click the home button, and it looks like it will work perfectly!

Install Stylus https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/ (and fall in love with it), then install a style (e.g. https://userstyles.org/styles/97106/ ) or write your own.

@dang Do you think this is something that can be added.

Save this as userscript, or convert to bookmarklet.

    document.body.style.filter = "invert(1)";
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = "#141414";

I use a fine tuned custom stylesheet with Stylus chrome extension.

That actually works amazingly well! Nice!

PLEASE.
