I clicked on the comments for a stock market post, and was directed to the comments section for the dark mode post.

I believe it’s a static copy to just showcase the new dark theme.

Next: Mobile mode.

The links are rather flimsy on mobile.

i personally like this version by @deleerium: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23199649

nice contrast without being white on black. the accent colors are tasteful, the purple links are obvious without being distracting.

Looks cool. The tab navigation does not work however.

http://hn.premii.com/ I use this one, and it's been pretty great so far! It has Dark mode and other color options too.

Thanks for putting out a working demo. Maybe if you could whip up a way for folks to tweak the basics, we could have a way to "vote". Hopefully that would prevent any "DarkModeGate" fiasco where only a minority ends up liking it.. /thought

I think the greyed out type is too greyed out. Needs more contrast. Less than the white type of course, but more than is present atm.

At 1/3 brightness the text is barely readable. I think it looks amazing with full brightness. It should have been designed at a lower brightness, imo.

I am getting "Unable to load the content" when I click on a thread, are you getting this? There aren't errors in the log.

I visited few links in hackernews and it shows as visited in dark mode too. How is it working?
