I'm particularly pleased with the changes to how comments are rendered, especially downvotes and quotes. It makes such a difference to not have the UI be actively hostile to read.

I've tweaked the site with some CSS stylesheets managed using Stylus. Links in my profile here.

While at it, I use a userscript to improve the vanilla HN expernce - it allows to upvote comments and submissions mouse hover while holding left shift. Very handy, I use similar scripts for other sites that have upvoting too. https://gist.github.com/Klaster1/d4d75d9e890e9db9509fd075cbc0aab4/raw/528d121c8a5140ecc8c849584b004251ac37b84f/hacker-news-paint-likes.user.js https://gist.github.com/Klaster1/d4d75d9e890e9db9509fd075cbc...

Oh, that's quite nice, thank you. Definitely an improvement and an excellent basis for further tweaking to get it Just Right.
