One of the reasons I learned a lot of css and js was actually inspired by me writing userscript to modify HN webpage to be like I want. That might count as a plus for me. The HN page source makes it easy to customize.
And lack of notifications is a good feature. It does help in many cases where you would go into very heated or not very useful discussions.
- dredmorbius 3y agoMy learning tool was Google+ back in the day. I'd already been hacking up various websites' CSS for a while, but that instance was ... special... Though not notifications, I've included code to annotate YC startup job listings, just so I could clearly distinguish them from regular posts. I took to increasingly muting the notification such that it now reads: /* HN startup job ads */ html[op="news"] .athing td:nth-of-type(2):not(.votelinks) { background: #eee; } html[op="news"] .athing td:nth-of-type(2):not(.votelinks):before { content: "YC"; position: relative; left: 0.8em; top: 0; color: #000; font-size: 0.6em; } That's a very faint grey highlight to the text. Anything more is like sand in my eyeballs, and this really does stand out clearly for me.
