I have Dyslexia and have always found light on dark background easier to read. I used green screens (amber even) and like everyone I went to the “light” side as GUI’s became a thing. But I always kept my xterm with black backgrounds.
At one point I read an article about dark backgrounds helping dyslexics read better. I tried it on Kindle and in one year read 6x as many books as the year before, it was like someone had transformed me with a magic wand, I could read and enjoy more of what I was reading.
I haven’t figured out a good way to get dark mode on iOS nor css hacks for dark mode HN. I did find a way to hack dark mode into Slack and Jenkins and those were amazing changes for me (and quite a few of my team).
I worry that people think Dark Mode is a fad, to me it’s a gift and I hope the trend continues.
