Well, I hope the icons are recolored to work both on light and dark themes.

I’m using the web app and this is applies to both Apple and Android designs

            I guess “accessible” could mean that, but it sounded to me like an impairment or something. Virtually anyone who wants to use dark mode can do a web search for how-to and do it /shrug

      Not everybody lives in their parents’ basement.
      There are studies that found that dark mode can cause more eye strain, specially in bright environments.

          I’m almost certain I once saw one such study, but couldn’t find it anymore, so yes, feel free to file my claim as bullshit.

          What I did find was some articles about a problem called halation in which people with astigmatism or propensity for it can have the eyes dilate too much with dark mode making white-on-dark text illegible.

            I appreciate this response. Good on you for owning that. I’ve had the same experience (with other topics). It makes me feel like either I’m going crazy or search engines are awful. “Why can’t I find that article?!”

          That is exactly the disadvantage of dark mode: your eyes would adjust for low light so something bright would mess your eyes up like a pilot at night being shone a laser pointer. That’s also why pure white text over pure black is actually worse than simply light mode with comfortable brightness.

            Yeah I’m sorry I’m not buying the argument “staring at a light bulb hours a day is better, because occasionally some asshole will flash one in your face against your will anyway”.

            If I didn’t use dark mode in bed as one example, I would be exposed to light 10 times brighter and it would fuck with my circadian rhythm hard. But because I use dark mode, I’m able to fall asleep easily after using my phone.

        Source? I call bullshit on that, like red wine both causes and prevents cancer

            I would laugh my ass off if they were using IPS displays. OLED does not have this issue
