You can also create a custom theme and use this one to extend it. It makes the upvote and downvote larger buttons, and also adds padding to the comment / edit / delete

please ignore the "hackernews" theme, i thought it'd be funny to make a jstpst theme that makes it look just like hackernews. then i realized i love and respect myself and this site

Commenting to remind myself to update my own theme to make it mobile friendly.

ty!! anything to make upvoting posts easier. if there's anything better than posting, it's telling others that their post was good.

kudos to postmill for being so clean and easy to style. no div soup, no js-managed dom. and everything's an html form (blessed). thank u emma

I wanted to check this out but can’t find it. I see a lot of themes (including a devtesla test theme) but no twovest theme…. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Edit: I’m responding to a year old post lol. Is this even a thing anymore?

When Heroku killed Jstpst mid 2024, we had a backup which I was able to restore to a VPS, but the themes were stored elsewhere and lost. Further, Postmill's ~ 8 years of updates mean this css doesn't work anymore hehe
