Description:

A visual redesign of hacker news, trying to keep recognizable elements like the orange title bar, but improving some things of the orginal design which annoyed me.

  • Higher contrast (almost black on white)
  • Colourful link, to better discover them and displaying the visited-state

  • Same style applied to the search
