That’s an interesting idea. I think that folks have already built something like this for internal use or as a service, but I’m not sure if it exists as a free service. This might be enough to get you started if you wanted to roll your own (h/t @simonw): > Summarizing Hacker News discussion themes with Claude and LLM https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/claude-hacker-news-themes For something similar at the story level, but without any kind of sentiment analysis, there’s this: https://hnrankings.com/ Edit: Some (AI?) comment analysis summary per story on this site, but I don’t know how the site works or how often it might re-analyze the comment thread, if at all: https://hackyournews.com/ via https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news

HN is very easy to style with custom CSS, because the HTML never changes. I've been using this theme[1] for many years now. There are also alternative frontends[2] that support dark mode, like a sibling comment mentioned. Though it would be nice if the native theme at least respected the user's `prefers-color-scheme` setting.
