Thank you for the feedback and #23 on a weekend day is very impressive!
I found there are a couple of those small improvements that make HN significantly easier and more pleasant to read. Good to hear that the red names are not too distracting!
The reason for a timezone specific RSS feed is because, like the site itself, the RSS feed only updates once a day at midnight. And _when_ the day changes depends on the timezone. Therefore we created different RSS feeds, one for each time zone.
1. A less addictive Hacker News (https://hackerdaily.io)
2. A brief overview of yesterday’s world events (https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com)
I modify the tree from Wikipedia slightly to get a less cluttered overview.[1]

News in the digital age updates constantly. No matter what, there is always some "breaking news". This causes news sites to become more of a slot machine than a substantive source of information.
A Brief History of Yesterday tries to be an antidote. It uses Wikipedia to show a summary of what happened yesterday. It's no news anymore, the content is already gradually becoming history.
I started working on it last weekend. It is still in a pre-alpha state, but please let me know what you think of it!
I haven't add anything to the UI for now. Do you have an idea how to add this nicely to the existing UI?
Most posts with 100+ points are at least somewhat interesting and I only have to do the manual filtering to find the few posts I want to read once a day.
I just deployed a version with reduced margins between paragraphs in a comment and I'm gonna look into how to improve the comment metadata in a less obtrusive way.
I indeed designed HackerDaily explicitly with smaller columns in mind. The reason for this is that it makes reading longer comments a lot easier. There has been quite a bit of research done to figure out what the optimal line length is and most sources come down to about 60-80 characters. With 80-90 characters on HackerDaily its already on the outer edge of the readability spectrum.
To keep the site as lightweight as possible, I only use CSS to enable dakr mode. This is done by using prefers-color-scheme.[1] So you can only enable dark mode by enabling it either on your computer/phone on in your browser.
Please let me know if you've any more questions! :)

I quickly added a page with a darker background[1], is this more readable? If not I might need to increase the spacing between the items.
I am currently looking into how to generate an RSS feed. I personally don't use RSS, so I am not sure how you would like to have it be implemented, I have two questions:
1. Do you want all articles on HackerDaily added to your RSS feed? (HackerDaily only shows the articles with 100+ points, so that's about 30-50 articles per day)
2. HackerDaily uses your local timezone to find the articles per day, would you like to have this for the RSS feed as well, or is based on UTC also okay?
Dark mode is set using only CSS, by using prefers-color-scheme.[1] So if you've enabled dark mode on your computer/phone, the website should automatically turn dark.

I also created it to use (in my opinion) a better UI and UX, to add a dark mode, and to make it a PWA.
I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment!
HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others:
- The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So you never miss the best posts
- It has an improved collapsing comment system
- It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app
- It has a dark mode
- It's open source[1]
I would love to hear what you think about it!

This summer I wanted to learn some new technologies, in particular Postgres, Hasura and Tailwind. To learn these technologies in a fun way I made HackerDaily. It’s a way to read Hacker News in a more informative and less addictive way.
I love the articles and conversations on Hacker News, the articles shared are enlightening and the conversations often add insight and nuance to the articles. Despite many HN users complaining that “it isn’t what it used to be” I think its still an awesome resource and one of the most civil communities on the internet. The problem is that (like all social platforms) it easily becomes too much of a slot machine. I think there are two main reasons. Firstly, it's the constantly changing website: every few minutes the front page changes. Secondly, it's easier to just read the comments than the articles themselves, since the articles are on a (often unknown) website that takes time to load; it also takes time to orient yourself with a new design before you can start reading the article itself.
HackerDaily is built to alleviate these problems as well as a few others:
- The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So, the posts on the front page get updated once a day (at midnight, your local time) and they are sorted by their score (only posts with a score above a hundred are shown).
- The articles are readable in an outline.com style so you don’t have to load a whole new webpage to read an article (and get the usual spam, pop-ups, and cookies). The webpages from which an article could be extracted are marked by the book icon in front of the title
- It has an improved collapsing comment system
- It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app
- It has a dark mode
- It's open source[1]
Maybe some of you can also find value in it. Any feedback is appreciated!
