Ask HN: Dark mode for HN please?
Ok, you guys, this isn't the first time we've heard this request (<a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=comments%3E0%20dark%20mode%20hn&sort=byDate&type=story&storyText=none" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...</a>). I'm willing to do it (edit: not to change the default! just to add the option). It's just that any CSS issue that goes more than a quarter-inch deep is equally outside my expertise and my interest, so help would be welcome.<p>We can add CSS to <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/news.css" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/news.css</a> for <i>prefers-color-scheme: dark</i>, but that leaves open the question of specifically what CSS to put in there. Anyone who wants to make a suggestion is welcome to. Post it in this thread so others can comment, or email it to hn@ycombinator.com. I've roped Zain, YC's designer, into helping with this, and we'll come up with something.<p>p.s. If you're inclined to post "this is 2020, how come HN doesn't $thing", remember our motto: move slowly and preserve things: <a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%22move%20slowly%22%20%22preserve%20things%22&sort=byDate&type=comment" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...</a>. When I say slowly I mean slowly. This is also called alligator energy. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16442716" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16442716</a>
