Mantas Vidutis (ID: 00000010ebc2f5ce) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/16/2014 There are issues with the comment view, random indents are inserted, making comment threads impossible to follow.

Idan Gazit (ID: 000000633d3cb7b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/12/2013 Far, far better than the default HN styling. Clear use of whitespace, larger type, what's not to like?
