Building dark mode on Stack Overflow

When you have your OS set to dark mode and a site blinds you with it’s whiteness...you see the total UX fail. UX is about the U. If they’ve specified I want things black on contrast, then support it. Because they expect it. Post shows how feasible it is...and users, the U, will respect you for it and keep coming back.

Otherwise your first impression is simply blinding and not in a positive way

In a sense, I suppose it is one aspect of accessibility. It's not a "total UX fail", though. You can still read the text and accomplish your task, even if the brightness isn't ideal.

Speaking of blinding, it's too bad the other aspects of accessibility aren't as popular. When screen reader support was broken, they didn't write blog posts about fixing it.

This literally happened as I switched from TFA to this HN post...
