I have to disagree about dark mode being a 2nd-degree feature. It's an absolutely necessary bit of accessibility design. You don't have dark mode, you're stopping some people from being able to use your thing.
- 8organicbits 3y agoThis comment is posted on HN, a site that doesn't offer dark mode but has succeeded anyway. I'm curious why you think lack of dark mode is a blocker for early adoption. Anyone who really cares can use browser extensions to create an ad-hoc dark mode, so workarounds exist.
- fragmede 3y agoI'll plug https://darkreader.org/ https://darkreader.org/ as the extension I use.
- BillyTheMage 3y agoI also use Dark Reader, but it's buggy on a lot of sites, and it's ridiculous for people to be making things with a white theme anyways. People who shine flashlights in their eyes are short-sighted self-destructive morons.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoEveryone has some feature that is a deal breaker for them. But an early stage start up doesn't have the resource to cater to all of them. Your market will forgive the absence of polish if it solves a problem for them well.
- BillyTheMage 3y agoOkay then I'll settle for only making a dark theme and waiting to make the eye-burning version until a bunch of people complain about it.
