Ask HN: Is possible to rebuild hnews like lobste.rs?

3 points by bitdeep 7y ago ↗ HN

I ask because lobste.rs use a big font and is even better to reading on pc. Or at last add on our profile a way to use a different font size.

I'm very happy with HN as it is. If you want a bigger font then you can do that in your own browser with plugins, user CSS etc.

Is it possible? Of course... if you can change the topbar color there's no reason you shouldn't be able to change the font size. As with the topbar color, changing the font size wouldn't even have to affect anyone but the current logged in user.

Will it happen? Probably not.

In what way does ⌘+ (Mac) or Ctrl+ (Windows) not satisfy your need? I prefer changing font size that way, because it's simple and works on every site, and I can change it depending on whether I'm using a big monitor or not.
