Hey PH, I previously launched Modern for Wikipedia here back in December, and it seemed like the obvious next choice to build one for Hacker News too! So I've taken what I learned from building that, and have spent all my spare time this year building Modern for HN. Hope you like it! Lots more planned for future updates, and suggestions welcome :)

I love this!! I really want to get into HN and do spend some time there, but i really cant get past the interface, although I do appreciate how simple it is. This feels like a perfect solution - clean and simple still, but looks so much better in my opinion! Thanks for creating this and good luck on the launch!

@britt_joiner Thanks Brittany, appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you find it useful :)

Now this is cool. I always end up not reading anything on hacker news because of it's look and feel. This would now at-least hold me there for some more time to read. Congrats with the launch!

Wow! You nailed it. Very much needed by the indie hackers. Wierd that no body made a thing like that before. So thanks for putting efforts in making it and congratulations such a fantastic launch.

I tried it when it was posted on HN. However, every time I open a new HN tab, all custom settings are reset.
