Modern for Hacker News

Maker

Hey PH, I made this free browser extension that modernizes the Wikipedia design. I started making this for myself just because I wanted more of a "reader mode" like experience (narrower column, nicer fonts, dark mode etc). Then I got a bit carried away and implemented everything I could think of for a modern redesign of Wikipedia. Hope you like it!

@stevew this is so cool! It really makes Wikipedia much nicer to use. It’d be awesome if we could change the font size of the table of contents on the left too, but it’s not a big deal. I had no idea it’s possible to make an extension like this! Could you point me towards an article or a resource that would help me get started in this field? I can think of many sites I’d like to customize.

@anna_0x Hi Anna, glad you like it :) Thanks for the feedback. The latest update now includes settings to change the font size, line height and width of the table of contents. In terms of development, it's fairly easy to do. Here's a guide I found with a quick search: https://www.lateral.io/resources...

@stevew ah, thanks a lot! Because I have no experience with these things, I was in no position to evaluate whether a tutorial is good/accurate, so thanks for the link :)
