#2I disagree. Dark mode is necessary at night. Having the app detects sunlight/sundown and adjust appropriately is the best.
All it takes is for someone to be forced to work at night one time to appreciate dark mode (e.g. being on-call).

#3I disagree overall. I find it much less painful on the eyes to read in dark mode at night, even if there's no evidence for health benefits.
I agree that dark mode as an additional UI shouldn't be an afterthought, and should be tested fully just like the main UI. Poorly-designed dark mode can be difficult to use because of things like bad contrast.

#4Dark mode, especially on an OLED screen is vastly superior IMHO.

#5>For very little rewards, we've doubled the work required for interfaces.
What, how is it doubling required work? There is so much to do when it comes to interface design than just colors. With a proper logic behind coloring, and a token system, its not that big of a deal. Many people prefer dark mode.
Also, changing brightness on an external screen twice a day would be quite tedious... imagine with multiple screens.

#7I don't think I've ever disagreed with a post so strongly.

#8This is a terrible take. "Just lowering the brightness" also lowers contrast, which makes text harder to read (among other things). Dark mode allows you to keep that contrast without keeping the perceived brightness, which is a big win.

#9Sorry it's more work for designers, but honestly I don't actually care. It's a nice option for users.
