About

Hacker News Modern UI

A lightweight browser extension that transforms the Hacker News interface into a clean, modern reading experience. Built with privacy and simplicity in mind.

Key Features

- Eye-friendly dark theme — A carefully crafted dark interface that reduces eye strain during extended reading sessions, particularly in low-light environments.

- Color-coded usernames — Usernames are displayed in distinctive colors, making it easier to identify comment authors and follow conversation threads at a glance.

- Minimal, uncluttered design — The interface removes visual noise while preserving all functionality, allowing you to focus on the content that matters.

Privacy & Security

This extension is completely free, open source, and operates entirely within your browser. No data is collected, no tracking is implemented, and no external requests are made. The code is publicly available for review.
