Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

All applications should start in dark mode, and then offer you the option to move to light mode. (sh.itjust.works)

Time to introduce ADHD mode, where the program can't decide and repeatedly switches back and forth between light and dark.

That's authoritarian. Lol I don't like dark mode at all, why force it on me?

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Light mode is much more comfortable to read to me. I hate it when apps force dark mode.

Disagree. All apps should start by following the system mode. That way you get the app the way you like it and don’t have to change it.

Yup. The latest app I've built has 3 modes.

System (default)
Light
Dark

It gives that setting right on start-up and saves the users selection as the new default straight after. It's not too hard to implement. At least not in Angular. Native Android on the other hand is a pain in the neck. I found react native to also bee rather painful.

Now that most electronic devices have bright ass screens this needs to be default, or some non blinding neutral. Getting tired of opening an app or website on my phone and being blinded. Not sure if it is true, but to me dark mode also feels easier to read in a bright room or outside.

Can just lower the brightness on your device, then no app can go brighter than that.
