As long as we can give you some honest feedback: your extremely low contrast color choices make this a nightmare to read. Otherwise, I think it's a lot truer to "HN for X" than OP.
Ok, we didn't hear that input before so thank you we will see how to improve that. See in the top right icons there is a 'moon' that turns on a night time mode, might be helpful.
I just ran our site through the Web Accessibility contrast checker at webaim.org to compare the headlines (what we think people want to scan and focus on) to the background. The contrast score is a very high and passing 14.5/1 ratio.
We make the micro text more subdued on purpose to make scanning the headlines easier.
