Hacker News Reader

I use light mode when it's light, and dark mode when it's dark. Anything else results in either cooked retinas or excessive squinting.

It baffles me that anyone could be so wedded to their theme that they would use dark at midday in a well-lit office or vice versa.

This became obvious to me when switching between my dark editor and the bright website I was developing. It was pointless to have to adjust the screen brightness at every switch.

Once theme switching became part of the OS, I rejoiced.

It still pisses me off when I reach a website that doesn't follow my scheme setting but offers a manual toggle.

Dark Reader extension is my weapon of choice for this, for sites that don't offer a dark mode. I've set it up to follow the system theme, all my apps are set the same, so when I flick the system theme (or it does so on sunset), everything changes. It's the little things in life.

Imma add an ability that flashes rgb in your editor then. Thanks for the suggestion :D
