Somewhat off topic, but has someone created a dark mode stylesheet or viewer for Hacker News?

Install stylus on your browser and look for a hacker news dark mode.

  +1 for Stylus. I've gotten into the habit of fixing little things in most sites I visit regularly, and it's made my browsing experience much nicer.

On Chrome, I use the Dark Reader extension. Works perfectly well with HN, and I use it with many, many other websites.

Instead doing this on a site-by-site basis, consider using an extension like DarkReader (for mobile, some chromium Android browsers and also Firefox Preview allow extensions). It degrades performance a bit, a small fraction of sites look broken by it (can selectively disable), but its a huge boon overall.

  Dark Reader for Firefox seems to work only some of the time. I ended up disabling it.

  Thanks. Dark Reader for Chrome is working well for me.

On Chrome 78+ (including mobile, at least Android) chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark works pretty well. Made a big difference to my evening browsing.

On Brave browser for Android, I use chrome://flags and enable "Android Web Contents Dark Mode". Samsung's Internet browser has a Dark Mode toggle built in, which surprised me.

There's the HN Special add-on for Firefox and Chrome. It lets you set a dark style or also use an alternate stylesheet for HN.

  Wow, thanks for this, it's a pretty great upgrade to the UX.
