Make Hacker News more readable
Hacker News is one of those sites that are open throughout the day on my machine. While it houses brilliant discussions and an amazing community, as a designer, the design of the site did not feel right to me. It was a pain to read through comments and I always had to hunch forward to be able to read through the micro sized type.
I ended up creating a stylesheet that brought beautiful typography to Hacker News. Meet Georgify: a Chrome extension which has now been ported to Stylish with Userstyles.org as well. Georgify is an alternate CSS for Hacker News with a focus on typography and readability. It uses Georgia as the typeface and some typographic sugar like limting line span to 50-60 characters and sufficient whitespace to improve legibility. Give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.
