Firefox reader mode. It fixes the web, and it makes me slightly sad.

  I am seriously thinking of making a small web that parses HN and shows the links in a decent way and when clicking something it opens it with automatic styles like Firefox reader mode. The % of decent (as in readable) articles / articles in HN is too low, and Firefox reader mode fixes them all (so far 100% correct for me after years).

        The content loads from his API rather than the website itself, and also there is an Android app made by him. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn I have noticed that some websites are actively obfuscating the content on their page to prevent it being loaded by content-viewers (like the website or the app). I've had to email him to fix an issue in the app and he pushed a change to the Play store fairly quickly.
