Ask HN: Can we please get dark mode? 9 points by captaincrunch 2y ago ↗ HN Hard on the eyes at night.
[–] istillwritecode 2y ago ↗ Does Firefox send a header to request this? [–] infotainment 2y ago ↗ No need to -- there's a CSS media query, "prefers-color-scheme", which allows a website to apply styles conditionally depending on whether or not the user is in dark mode.

I created it for 3 reasons:
1) practice with Flutter
2) I wanted dark mode
3) I was getting really tired of chatGPT posts at the time so I added a topic filter.
I will openly admit it is not nearly as the HN website which IMO is a masterpiece.
If you enjoy hacking your own apps together feel free to fork it and creating your own experience.
P.s.
Really not a plug just thought it was relevant and a bit personally humorous.
