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.

I've tweaked the site with some CSS stylesheets managed using Stylus.

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.

Oh, that's quite nice, thank you. Definitely an improvement and an excellent basis for further tweaking to get it Just Right.
