Is Dark Mode Good for Your Eyes? (2020)
This post seems to boil down to, &quot;I read a summary of one study, so I am confident in telling you all how wrong you are&quot;.<p>Thanks but I&#x27;ll let the scientific process play itself out over time. In the mean time, I appreciate that the public debate has induced phones, apps, and many web sites to give me the option to enjoy reading things all day without eye strain.<p>The fact that more stuff defaults dark mode or follows a system setting also means I spend less time having to re-style sites with a browser plugin.<p>This is probably already an endless back and forth like the editor wars but I&#x27;m okay with that as the long term status quo. It&#x27;ll mean that most designers learn that they just have to use themes and include an option for either preference. Some even go as far as making their sites look good in both modes. It pleases my counter-culture senses to see them exploring more angles on the color wheel.
