Item — HN Reader

FWIW, it looked great on paper/Github, so I installed and tried it. The colors just overwhelmed me, so I had to uninstall it.

Thinking "perhaps, it's just the default color scheme", I installed it again and tried the `delta --show-syntax-themes` command to see the themes in action. Didn't like any of them. So uninstalled it again.

I like my current setup, which is:

[core] pager = less -FMRiXx4

(Delta author here.) You can disable syntax highlighting, either by customizing the {plus,minus}-*-style options to not use 'syntax' as the foreground color, or by selecting the diff-highlight or diff-so-fancy emulation modes. That would allow you to still have some of the other features if they are attractive to you, such as side-by-side view, line numbers, restructuring and streamlining of the default diff format output, copyable code (no +/- characters), etc.
