> On my computer it started in Dark Mode, and the experience overall was quite a bit disorientating. Also no light/mode switch icon in the header.

I don't really know that you need a light/dark mode switch. It should follow your preferences. I see dark mode websites all the time, because my desktop is set to dark mode. On my Windows machine I see the same websites with the light-mode, because I did not bother to figure out how to set Windows to dark-mode.

[EDIT: The Plane App ignores my preferences].

Hi, I am Aaryan, one of the maintainers at Plane. We currently have the theming settings available under the profile section, where you can set themes like light, dark, custom themes, and more. Thank you for your suggestion; we will certainly work on implementing the system preference setting and find a better placement for the theme switcher.

Please make it multilingual (Spanish). Some people here don’t speak good english

Hey Aaryan, I just signed up and am taking the tour, and the body copy (#737373 on #070707) is effectively unreadable while sitting outside with my MacBook Air at max brightness. (Hacker News remains easy to read in the same scenario.)

For accessibility's sake, it'd be nice if the site met WCAG Level AAA contrast ratio requirements.

Thanks for your feedback. Rest assured that we will carefully consider it and work towards enhancing our color schemes accordingly.

Yes of course you need one, the detection is what I can call flaky at best (talking about the websites I visit, not that the tech doesn't exist) and also I know many people who only run a good chunk of websites on their actual preference, and others on the other version, I'm one of them, I only use dark mode in about 1/3 of websites where I know about the two modes.

No, some applications work better in light mode, some in dark mode.

And sometimes it depends on the environment outside of the computer.
