HN Dark Mode?


It seems we were promised dark mode for HN here over almost three years ago [0] but to no avail.

When could we expect dark mode natively on HN? I prefer it to absolutely work without JS and no CSS hacks or trickery.

HN plays really nice with Dark Reader, I've been using it for years.

If you really want to ask the mod(s) a question and get an answer, write to them at the email address given in the guidelines.

HN is feature minimalist. The beauty is you can skin it in any number of ways due to its simple design and it’s hackable. Firefox on iOS has a dark mode and HN appears dark when you visit it. I’m really liking it since blue light damages the eyes.

wonder what is percentage of people are using dark mode with system and apps ... somehow, I don't feel it is good/easy for eyes, and harder to read with dark mode at day time.
