I wish there was a universal 'colorscheme' standard that every text editor (Vim/Emacs/VSCode/Jetbrains/otherIDEs) all plugged into. And you could 'load/save' your settings across different apps etc... each one saving into the same _standardized_ file format. Then a site like this would work with me just 'ctrl-c'/ ctrl-v'ing the colorscheme into _any_ text editor (heck any program) target.

It’s been mentioned earlier in this thread, but base16 is basically that. I use it, and it’s ok! After setting up a program to support base16, you can just type

> base16-manager set nord

to use the nord theme on all programs.

I came across the themer.dev the other day. It's comes close to this, but I struggled to get a theme to be consistent across apps. There are still some apps it doesn't support.
