I resorted to a UserScript to fix the worst of the site's UI problems.

I'm particularly pleased with the changes to how comments are rendered, especially downvotes and quotes. It makes such a difference to not have the UI be actively hostile to read.

While at it, I use a userscript to improve the vanilla HN expernce - it allows to upvote comments and submissions mouse hover while holding left shift. Very handy, I use similar scripts for other sites that have upvoting too.

I have recently released an alternative myself: >>36760714 (http://dstill.ai/hackernews). Would be curious to hear why people seek alternative ways to browse HackerNews :)

On desktop I'll stick to the original page, it's so simple and good.

But it isn't that good on mobile. On mobile I use Harmonic for Hackernews it is the best one I've used. I tried many others but Harmonic is the only one I'm still using. The only reason that made me want to use another App, was that it wasn't open source, but it got open sourced some time ago.

Tooting my own horn, but https://dev.thnr.net/ is how I’ve enjoyed HN for the past year. Thumbnails plus surfacing details about links such as author and channel.
