Very funny, since "Huginn" and "Mininn" were a mythological pair of ravens [0].

Haha unfortunately that wasn't the reason. I had posted this first back in April of 2021, but got an email today from @dang to repost this as it's gonna go in the second-chance pool. :P

Refined Hacker News [0] author here, thanks for the mention :)

This is really nice OP, love it!

Reminds me of my own Chrome extension, Refined Hacker News [1], with almost identical keybindings built into the HN interface. Neat coincidence :)

Hi, developer of the extension here! There is a "dark mode" preset available in the Custom CSS settings of the extension. Open the extension popup from the toolbar (list of extensions) and you'll know what I'm talking about :).

Developer of the extension here, thank you!

Yep, please do open an issue on Github! Best way for me to keep track of it.

And thanks for the kind words :)

Hi all, developer of Refined Hacker News here! Happy to see that it has been posted about again, thanks @jaytaylor! As stated in my previous Show HN for this extension, my philosophy behind the extension (as mentioned in the my comment) is:

> There are many extensions out there that add quite a few features to Hacker News, but they also always do one thing, which I have realised, is a slippery slope: changing the minimalistic design and style of Hacker News.

> I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess around with the overall design or style of Hacker News. It's sacrosanct.

Thanks, I'm up for discussion! :D

I think this is brilliant because it possibly allows for a spoiler-free way to browse through reddit and find discussion of the show and episode without giving away stuff that happened after that episode. Thanks a lot, OP!

Alright, glad it's working now! And thanks for the kind words, appreciate it.

Hi! Creater of Refined Hacker New here :).

You mentioned that the "toggle all comments" button is broken, could you elaborate a bit more on that, and if possible open a GitHub issue for it? Thanks a lot :D.

Apart from that, with RHN you can navigate through the comments using the "J" and "K" keyboard keys and Press "Enter" on the highlighted comment to toggle it. Hope that helps too, cheers :)

Hah, completely agree :P. Instagram is included in that list, unfortunately and unsurprisingly.

I had given this a try a week ago. Love the concept, and pretty neatly surprised. But it broke quite a few apps, couldn't get them to load content from the internet many times. Finally had to uninstall out of frustration :/.

> At least there isn't a maximum size here.

My bank does this, setting an maximum of 15 characters. It is an incredibly frustrating experience when I have to change my password (which I have to do every 6 months, per their "security" policy): I'm reminded of this ludicrous requirement of < 16 chars because most certainly they store these passwords in plain text.

For context: this is the largest private bank in my country serving 50 million+ of customers.

> That led the state hospital’s attorney to have a police detective take Spriestersbach’s fingerprints. They didn’t match the ones they had on file for Castleberry. Officials also compared photos of the two men — again, not a match.

This is more than infuriating, that in the two years that Spriestersbach was wrongfully held, they never thought of matching fingerprints, or even photos? IANAL but the lack of such a basic level of background check like this is criminal.

Wrong thread, you probably meant to post this in "Who is Hiring?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28037366

It's funny how this post is juxtapositioned on the frontpage with the article[1] stating that 1 in every 153 American workers is an Amazon employee.

Congratulations on the launch! I've got no major feedback except that the capitalization of your company's name is different all through the website ("InstaKin" vs "Instakin"). This might seem pedantic but I thought you guys would want to know :).

Thanks Anand, I'll consider that! Meanwhile you can use the extension's "Custom CSS" field to take care of it :).

Not the original commentor, but I guess what they were talking about was the low contrast of the description text of text posts on HN with the background.

> create the company in first lace

Haha, interesting typo.

Also FilePizza: https://file.pizza/

Your point is true, but it is highly unlikely that a website providing 2FA would also be storing passwords in plaintext.

Awesome, glad I could help!

Thanks Krasnol :)

This is an interesting issue. What color is your "topbar" configured to? You can check it under your profile settings: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Krasnol. It could be that the topcolor that you've set is a dark color, and the CSS inversion makes it light, thus conflicting with the text color.

If this is still a problem, please do open an issue on the GitHub repository, I'll happily look into it :)

Shameless self-plug: I built Refined Hacker News[0], a browser extension, that allows one to set custom CSS and has a default preset for dark-mode :).

Classic HN gatekeeping, this is so unnecessarily degrading. Everyone starts somewhere, and like it or not, making clones is a very good way to learn about the basics of web dev. If they make a good clone and want to share it and get feedback, what's the harm?

Exactly. Frankly, I'm tired of this tip-toed attitude - there hasn't been any sort of consequences suffered or imposed on the Chinese government for how they surreptitiously dealt with the virus, initially.

I'm not condoning or advocating conspiracy theories, but where they are wrong, they should be penalised.
