HN Special - An addition to Hacker News
This extension refreshes the visual style of Hacker News and adds a few features, like infinite scrolling. Everything is toggleable.
HN Special adds a completely new visual style to Hacker News and a few new features, such as:
- Infinite scrolling
- Open links in new tabs
- More accurate domain names
- Comment folding
- Mark as read
- Sticky header
Even more features are going to come in the future!
You can choose which features you want to enable right from the settings menu. If you want, you can also disable the visual style and keep the rest of the features enabled.
This extension is completely open source. If you wish to add a new feature or make some changes, feel free to contribute to it on GitHub! https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/hn-special

Hands down the best visual upgrade you can make to HN. It even has a dark theme!

Really liked it, second time that I'm using it (after a previous un-install). Biggest problem (for me, at least) is the submit to HN page...there is very little space to work with when editing the title of the submission...in that respect, HN Special is far inferior to the Post to HN bookmarklet. If you ever do manage to push an update (no pressure Dan), do let me know (with a reply/etc). Otherwise, functional extension.

Thanks so much for the Dark theme!

Looks great - much better than HN enhancement suite for sure - but the upvote/downvote arrows in the comments page are not lined up correctly.

Excellent extension for improving the HN UI. Switching over from HN Enhancement Suite was refreshing, and it's good to know that this extension is open source.

Excellent plugin. Can we also have an option to change the font/background color. The orange is jarring especially early in the morning.

I compared a few of the HN extensions (including HN Enhancement Suite) and this one was the best, hands down. Give it two seconds and you'll obviously see what I mean. Really amazing. I barely ever give reviews, but I did it this time.

As others have said, huge improvement. RES for HN.

Makes HN look nice and work nicer. If I could sum it up it's RES for HN with a gorgeous Userstyle on-top.

I rarely leave Chrome extension reviews, but I felt it was necessary for this case. This is without a doubt the best HackerNews Chrome extension out there. It fixes all the annoying visual things I hate about the site, and makes it a truly enjoyable experience. Really love this software: if you give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks for fixing the problems with the latest Chrome. Totally the best Hacker News theme out there!

Hands down the best Hacker News visual theme that I've ever used. The customizability and clean interface really take it over the top.

This is visually beautiful, I guess if Hacker News won't upgrade their hard to read site, the hackers themselves will (maybe that was Y Combinator's idea all along?)
