It's an accessibility problem, especially for people (like me) who have astigmatism. But y'all don't look away from white text on black background to a bright light source (like a page of black text on a white background) and get a "burned in" impression of the previous page in your vision? Lucky you.
Dark mode is fine, please let the user choose to have dark mode when she wants to.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI wish HN had a dark mode option.
- justinator 5y agoWhip up some css to your liking and inject it into hn's HTML - there's lots of examples of people doing things like that.

- notapenny 5y agoOut of sheer curiosity, is it just the white on black and would a "softer" light-grey on dark-grey be better for you? Or just generally light on dark?
- justinator 5y agoThe problem in general is the stark contrast between white and black. My editor is set with a grey background with grey text (or low chroma colors), and it works great.
