I wonder why we are not skinning websites 🧐
- digi_owl 9y agoCould have sworn that browsers have the capability to load custom CSS. But then writing CSS may well be a full time job, so...
- ripdog 9y agoCSS is pretty simple. Lots of people offer custom stylesheets for websites at https://userstyles.org https://userstyles.org.
- sovok_x 9y agoCSS is pretty simple but modern sites have hundreds to thousands selectors. If you want to do anything worthwhile you need to modify big part of those. And hope new updates won't change anything making your custom layout a total mess at some random point. I tried to theme some popular sites to my taste of dark themes and it's really tedious.
- ripdog 9y agoObviously every site is different, but I've developed a few styles before for sites like DDG and wikipedia, and it's a job measured in hours, generally. Nowhere near the amount of work involved in most OSS, and plenty of people here work on OSS.
