With the recent changes to Google's applications, I thought it'd be nice to get Hacker News to fit in nicely.

Looks awesome but would be nice if the link colours in dark mode would be more readable. Aside that nothing to complain about.

Thank you for the updates @jarques!!!!

Really beautiful and overall one of the best modifications to Hacker News. In the end though, I had to uninstall it if only because the comment threading gets really weird with this extension. If that was fixed, I would be more than happy to reinstall and rate 5 stars.
