drkr news is a clone of hckrnews.com (Wayne Larsen's alternative Hacker News interface), rebuilt as a small static site with one addition the original never had: dark mode and customizable themes.
Like the original, stories are sorted by when they first reached the front page — not by rank, and not by when they were submitted — and grouped by day, so you can read down the page and always know where you stopped. The left column links to the comment thread, the title links to the story.
Open settings to pick separate light and dark themes (classic, sepia, solarized, dracula, nord, terminal…), pick an accent color, or let the mode follow your system preference. The ◑ toggle in the header cycles auto / light / dark.
Some sites won't show you what you clicked for unless you have an account: X hides the replies, Reddit's mobile site drops an app wall over the thread, Medium meters the article. Turn this on under settings and story links to those sites are rewritten to an alternative front end — Nitter, Redlib, Freedium and friends — which serve the same content without the wall, the ads, or the tracking. Until you do, nothing is rewritten.
Sites that read fine while signed out (YouTube, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Fandom, Imgur) are offered too, but stay off even then. Under settings, customize opens the full list: every service has its own switch and a choice of public instances — these come and go constantly, so if one stops answering, pick another from the list or paste your own. The comments column is untouched; that's the HackerWeb setting above it.
A rewritten link still shows the story's own domain, marked with a dotted underline you can hover to see where it really goes. Alt-click (Option-click) it to open the original site instead. Nothing is proxied through this site: your browser goes straight to whichever instance you picked.
Like the original, this is a chronologic list of stories that made it onto the Hacker News homepage, ordered by when they first got there. Recent days come straight from hckrnews.com's own feed; days further back are approximated from the HN Algolia API (≥20 points, ordered by submission time), with the front-page flag from the official Firebase API. No backend, no tracking; your settings live in localStorage.
