Would love to see this available natively here on HN. The last dark mode request thread I recall garnered 780 points: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966
I find it offensive there's no dark mode. It's discrimination against people with a vision disability. It's a small and insignificant change on their part, could be made in 5 mins.
I whole heartedly want dark mode HN but your comment seems insincere and hyperbolic.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does dark mode help those with visual disabilities? I whole heartedly want dark mode HN but your comment seems insincere and hyperbolic.
Most major purveyors of UI have somehow recognised the importance of offering a dark mode - I guess they all just did it for a lark? At this point, HN's refusal is wilful.
Sure, plenty of annoying ways around it for each affected person to figure out - or one tiny change to the God-like and permanently-infallible UI of HN. All hail!

Any time you split your UI (for example, light mode and dark mode), it effectively doubles/multiplies all future UI testing you do from then on out (testing all new views/features on both light and dark mode). It can also add additional strain on bug reports / support, since you no longer know what UI configuration a particular user might've been using when they complained about something.
Slightly less of an issue on a site like HN where the UI is somewhat simple and static and changes happen at alligator speed, but still a long-term commitment to make (as opposed to 5 min of dev time).
(In case it isn't obvious, I'm a little salty about how much time I still spend testing/fixing my own site changes in dark mode over a year after adding it.)

I use Stylus and this stylesheet: https://userstyles.org/styles/22794/a-dark-hacker-news Works great for me. I use dark themes via Stylus for most of the common websites I visit like HN, GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. All other websites that cause me to squint I just toggle Dark Reader: https://darkreader.org/
Dark reader works unreasonably well.it has done more than any other project to restore some degree of visual consistency to our computer screens in the age of web apps.
Anyone getting these types of issues still? I would love to start using it again.

I normally prefer and use dark-mode UIs, but this one is actually slightly harder for me to read.

I tried it a while back in Firefox and after a a few days I noticed memory usage in Firefox was going way up and whenever I opened dev tools everthing would slow down drastically. Removed the addon and everything went back to normal. Anyone getting these types of issues still? I would love to start using it again.
Still use it because the speed / memory different isn't noticeable on most modern laptops / desktops. Even my phone uses it now as it's quick enough with the 'dynamic' update they made (toggle onto it under the 'more' section)
