well this is embarrassing. just noticed a ~1000% increase in traffic and it's almost all from hackernews where i find the post getting dunked on :) anyway, at least a few dozen other people didn't know about this feature, so i guess the post was helpful anyway. for the record, just now i tried and couldn't find any reference to these modes in the first 2 queries i thought of, so it's not trivial to find that it already exists (although i do not use google or chatgpt). i just assumed that if the feature existed i would have heard about it before, so i wrote a blog post, and it was fun. to your point about discoverability, i think that's true, and there's no comprehensive user manual for android, which would be the normal way one would discover features in a device. hm, that's another feature i'd like in my phone: a built-in digital technical manual, like the safety & regulatory manual.
