So @jsiggy @eryc the dark mode drama unfolded with John Collision asking who was patient zero of the Dark Mode contagion. Honestly though I want to know too as to why something like this became an OS level feature.

Probably because there were enough of us dark mode users that liked it and demanded it that companies had to add it to their products

So it was just tech people designing for themselves? Because I doubt people outside of tech care for a “mode” for this.

I don't see why there's a "drama" around it. Light and dark mode aren't this new invention or development, they've been around for ages lol

Ah it was a minor drama tbh.

Personally I hate that certain android OS’s have forced dark mode which tend to break app UI’s and degrade experiences. Small teams don’t have luxury to prioritise dark mode.

I’m all for dark mode for accessibility tbh, but it isn’t consistent across the web and so many places think it’s just inverting colors which ends up being inaccessible with low contrast. At the places Ive worked, it was added because of requests and preference basically.

It can look awesome if done well, but that's a pretty big if

yeah I agree! I personally love it but I can see how designers would hate having their work overridden just for the sake of dark. I cant scroll reddit without dark mode for example. That is TOO MUCH TEXT on white.

OOP I didnt realize I was spamming like four people my bad ! 💜

The more the merrier :)

I feel informed ✨️ I also may be biased because I use dark mode on my personal phone (but will blind myself using light mode on other devices lol) but I'm pro dark mode tbh
