Show HN: I center aligned Paul Graham's website and published a Chrome extension (github.com)

4 points by kaushikt 1y ago ↗ HN

On my new large screen, it was a little cumbersome to read PG's essays because they are sticking so far off to the left.

I center aligned it so it's a bit more readable.

Took 2 hours with chatgpt to ideate, build, and publish.

Somebody redesigned the whole website even https://www.paulgraham.blog/essays/why

I like your approach better.

Thanks, I wanted something that can be installed once and forgotten forever.

great work now please add margins to dan luu’s html table layout

Yeah, that's another website I would like to center.

It's a nice hobby project, but why not just use a browsers built-in reader mode? It has all the same features, and works on (almost) any website.

The extension is install once forget forever.

Reader mode is an additional step. Plus, I haven’t quite figured reader mode on chrome.
