Ask HN: Why does HN not have a dark mode?

• adabaed 5y ago
  Cause HN brings the daily dose of blue light every nerd eye needs. Hahhaha, jokes aside, I don't know. Stylus is a good tool to read on this kind of webs!

  I hope they implement it as a user option that you can turn on/off anytime. Dark mode hurts my eyes. Every time I read large blocks of white text over a dark background, I usually end up having a double vision of the text and later a headache. I find warm light to be the best
