There's a new DEV theme in town for all you 10x hackers out there (plus one actually useful new feature)

Ben Halpern on October 24, 2019

I'm excited to announce a new DEV theme... "Ten X Hacker". It's the only theme you'll use if you are a ninja rockstar magician. It features the ico...

Now you don't have to open hackertyper.net and type frantically in it to look cool in the coffeeshop!

Nice, now a suggestion: add a random theme. On each reload we should get one different. Not completely useful but I'd use it ๐Ÿ˜‚

The new theme makes me really happy โ€” not because of the theme, but because of the joy I like to think it brought you while you were coding it. Goofy smiles all the way.

Thank you. It hurts my eyes, but that is a small price to pay to achieve 10x.

Also gonna feel hella cyberpunk using this theme on BART at night. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I don't know any fo the languages used for this but I find it really neat to see the PR associated to the news! I know what I'm looking at, and even if I don't have the comprehension level of the contributor(s) I can understand the big picture.

Thanks sir for the latest theme addition, I really loved it, immediately switched to it.

But one thing I noticed is that the links are no longer looking different than the normal text. Is there some caching going on at my end, not sure. But just letting the forum know, is there a better way to report this.

Thanks...

Hey, so the 10x engineer theme is quite nice as an accessibility theme, considering that the contrast is high and the gradients are simple.

One request though: hyperlinks are not marked in any way. Could they perhaps be underlined, like a real hacker would? ๐Ÿ˜

I like the monospace addition. As for theme, It sounds cool but when I switched t it, It was a bit too highcontrast for my taste, and images looked odd with it. therefore after few minutes, I switched back to night mode.

Personally, I like the night theme better, but the monospace font is absolutely better then the other choices, IMHO.

Awesome! One thing I noticed is that monospace isn't applied to titles in posts (or titles in general).
But still I switched to the new theme and monospace, will try it out for a couple of days.

Love the static navbar setting so that I can enjoy the extra screen space when reading on my phone ๐Ÿ‘€. Makes me wonder if a similar thing can be done with the reaction bar.

I love that you've all added comic sans as a font issue. (yes yes it's ugly but it helps with reading .... readability ...)
