I don't want to install a js or pay for it and just use my Safari browser. It can't be that hard for HW to add that simple feature.
Saves a lot of energy and better for the eyes. Let's make it happen.
Does this mean you don't want to run JavaScript at all? Ever? That's a pretty tall order in today's world. I can understand having JavaScript disabled by default. But that said, JavaScript can be useful for what you want.
I know this because I empathize greatly (except I prefer light mode). In any case, when I saw this comment:

Maybe it can serve as a solution for you too if you're willing to compromise a bit.

I assume you mean a JS injector extension when you say "install a js," you don't need a JS injector, but you do need a CSS injector. There are no features you should pay for on HN.

Adding on to the discussion, I don't mind light mode in websites. HN is like a mid-2000's throwback website, there wasn't dark mode back then, but it's 2023, and people are used to dark mode. Why not give them what they want?
If somebody made a good HN app for iPad, I’d pay $5 a month for it. Features I’d like would be actual good design (not just feature notes that say, “Stunning, clean, beautiful”) and the ability to block specific users, topics/keywords, and domains.
