Title: My personal itch to scratch just recently has been the umpteen formatting foibles of HackerNews. So, in the spirit of making the web more personal again, I knocked up a TamperMonkey userscript to fix up the worst of my personal bugbears.<p>This isn&#x27;t an attempt at a complete rebrand&#x2F;redesign of the site, instead it&#x27;s just fixing up what I think are the biggest design&#x2F;readability issues whilst trying to remain true to the site&#x27;s existing aesthetic.<p>Key features:<p><pre><code>  * Base font size increased
  * A little more room around headings
  * Top menu bar is full-width and with a little more padding
  * Downvoted comments no longer faint hard-to-read grey. Instead they&#x27;re rendered with a light gray background and in a smaller font size.
  * Comments have a more readable max line length
  * Quotes are parsed and transformed to look like genuine quotes. I.e. any p or span that starts with &#x27;&gt;&#x27; is transformed and rendered with a light orange background and in italics.
  * The &#x27;Add comment&#x27; box on items is hidden by default. (Surely you&#x27;d want to read all the comments first before leaping in with your own 2p&#x27;s worth!?)
