You can customize HN to be darkmode friendly
Basically just have ublock origin installed in your browser, click the icon, go into the settings, click My Filters on the top, and paste the following.
After you apply and reload the page you should have a Nordic style theme that's a bit easier on the eyes.
-------------------
! Darker page background + main text color
news.ycombinator.com##body, .c00:style(background-color: #1e222a !important; color: #c8d0d9 !important;)
! Top orange bar (nav/header)
news.ycombinator.com##td[bgcolor="#ff6600"]:style(background-color: #2a2f3a !important;)

news.ycombinator.com##[bgcolor="#f6f6ef"]:style(background-color: #1e222a !important;)
! Full black elements background

! Site domain (.sitestr)
news.ycombinator.com##.sitestr:style(color: #b56c70 !important;)
!Shrinks the text input box on the submit page. (Flashbang reduction)
news.ycombinator.com##textarea[name="text"]:style(width: 400px !important; height: 30px !important;)
-------------------
I got the idea from another poster and modified it a bit. I don't know why the textbox on the submit page is a locked size. But other than that little quirk I find it a lot easier on the eyes.
If anyone knows how to change the submission boxes to be a different color that would be nice as well.
I thought there was a way to post code on HN but I cannot seem to figure out the formatting. Sorry about that. Here is what I use: Thanks I am about to try it out! I'll update the post when I get the chance for any future dark mode enjoyers. I was doing similar for a while but too many sites needed changes so I ended up installing and toggle Dark Reader where required. https://darkreader.org And invert color images for the images (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invert-image/) A while back I thought of simply adding a CSS filter to turn the colors of the entire site inverted, but never bothered. * { filter:invert(100%) !important } I'm not sure if that would work on the text boxes or not, though. Noir works perfectly for my uses. Love it. Thanks Thank you for this, works well! Now to adapt a version for https://hckrnews.com/.
