When DuckDuckGo is set to a dark theme, the map is also in dark mode! To me, that is an incredible valuable feature.
Edit: which is a fallback to Mapbox, no Apple Maps feature.
- blabus 8y agoIt seems they're falling back to Mapbox when a dark theme is used, presumably because MapKit JS doesn't support any theming or styling of maps.
- cygned 8y agoGood catch, I missed that. However, I guess that Apple will provide a dark mode for their map, too, at some point since they build dark mode into their OS(es?) anyway.
- master-litty 8y agoWe can send people to the moon but we can barely get dark mode right :)
- njarboe 8y agoWe can't currently send people to the moon, unfortunately. SpaceX is working on creating that capability in the next decade or so though and with there track record it might even happen.
- mythz 8y agoYeah the last person we sent to the moon was in 1972, so long ago that Eugene Cernan has since died at 82 years old.

- jedberg 8y agoNo, but there are four left, so we're tracking just above the 5th percentile line.

- saagarjha 8y agoI think I remember hearing something about the Apollo astronauts having higher-than-average rates of cardiovascular disease as a result of the increased radiation in space.
- garmaine 8y agoThe sample size is definitely not large enough to make such a broad generalization.

- enlyth 8y agoIf anyone wants this for Google Maps, try the Dark Reader extension for Chrome. Here is how it looks on my machine: https://i.imgur.com/rpCiJSA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rpCiJSA.jpg
- cygned 8y agoNot bad, not bad. The colored areas, especially that green would annoy me, though.
- joeblau 8y agoThat's interesting because Apple Maps supports dark mode on the Mac[1]. [1] - https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/9km62p/apple_maps_transit_is_so_pretty_in_dark_mode/ https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/9km62p/apple_maps_tran...
- dhritzkiv 8y agoIt's also supported in MapKitJS as of the latest version (5.13.0)[1] [1] https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/mapkit_js_release_notes/mapkit_js_5_13_0 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/mapkit_js...
- MrBra 8y agoCheck out "Darker Reader" extension... now you'll get that everywhere, automatically, with good looking dark colors. I think it achieves that by leveraging color theory and CSS filters. Once you try it you cannot go back :) I am not involved in development nor devs are friends of mine, I just think it didn't get all the exposure it deserves. PS if you're on chrome, after installing Darker Reader the infamous chrome white flash problem will mess with your eyes... Following thread has a partial solution to that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18714902 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18714902
- hutattedonmyarm 8y agoas much as I love that extension, I prefer "native" dark modes (as in, provided directly by the website)
- MrBra 8y agowell, to that I prefer the capability of having a dark mode for every website, especially when the result looks good is beautifully readable.
