Thanks to inspiration from Freek van der Herten, I switched to light mode. At the time, I didn’t appreciate the importance of minimizing the relative change of color when switching apps.
Most of the websites I build are light, so using a light theme keeps things more consistent when switching back and forth. I don’t think light or dark makes much difference but the consistency helps me.
The consistency is why I’m playing with light mode again. I’d stick with dark mode if all websites respected it. But many don’t— including HN! I’m tired of having random, blinding moments throughout the day.
