when dark mode is available on a website, does anyone ever use light mode instead?

if you do this, why? i don't want to add a light mode to gyrate.org, but i might if you give me a good enough reason.

You know that's like asking if anyone here sucks dick. You know a couple do, they're just not going to admit it here.

My eyeballs big hurt with anything bright. I wear sunglass, indoors and at night.

I guess my night vision is marginally better than whats common, numerous folk have commented so.

I would never use your day mode site

I embrace the light, within myself.

Only if it means I need to be logged in for dark mode. On sites I tolerate having a login always dark anything that hides that behind a login that I don't tolerate light mode

bruh. you do it because it's easy.

use tailwind. piece of cake.

all modern frameworks support it. use AI to build the styles.

you should be asking different questions.

nah, css frameworks are for people with no taste (or people working at their day jobs). i tried tailwind and a bunch of others and the resulting stylesheets were ridiculously large compared to what i could do myself with pure css. and i haven't even minified yet. haha

suit yourself, but those frameworks exist for a reason. yeah there's no free lunch, but using an IDE like Cursor gets you a lot of mileage and many problems you had 20 years ago don't exist any more.

yeah, they exist to get things done quickly (but not necessarily goodly).
