Would HN Accept PRs?
There's a few things about Hacker News that I believe could be improved and I would like to propose changes for in code.
I don't suppose there is a repo for it? If not, could/should there be?
Things I'd like to add are:
- Dark mode style sheet
- Clarification (by ways of rename or tooltips) of profile properties (showdead, noprocrast, maxvisit, minaway, delay)
- alexander2002 6mo agoBuilding an extension is a good idea imho.
- rbanffy 6mo agoA long time ago I did that to make Canonical's Launchpad easier to read - mostly making tables look nicer and so on. I was really nice. I saw similar initiatives at Workday as well - browser plugins that added extra functionality to the development instances of the application.
- 0xf93 6mo agoDark Reader extension works great for dark mode
- msuniverse2026 6mo agoPermissions: Literally everything
- genezeta 6mo agohttp://arclanguage.org/install http://arclanguage.org/install And you can contact hn@ycombinator.com if you're serious. But I'm not sure they do actually accept contributions. And anyway a dark mode is something that has been talked about for years and there doesn't seem to be much interest in adding it to the site. You may try other -external- options to add a dark mode through a browser extension.
- jorisw 6mo agoThanks, I thought the forum software came custom out of YC.
- genezeta 6mo agoYes, it is custom.
- gus_massa 6mo agoI think that version is super old. I guess a PR for that code will not merge cleanly on the current version. Dark mode has been asked many times, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25697173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25697173 , don't expect it soon...
