And the timeless tradition of HN commentators cynicism

And the timeless tradition of criticising perfectly valid concerns. Not everyone wants to be a member of the dark mode lobby.

I had to fiddle with the colours in the web inspector to even read the page. So yeah...

Of all the cynical comments I see on HN, this ranks very very low.

Reader mode or "View -> Page Style -> High contrast" in your browser works perfectly fine.

Wouldn't have it any other way :)

It's a simple webpage. If you don't like it, you can customize the CSS with a few custom rules in your browser.

Reposting a comment below: I used Stylus[1]. There are already some considerably more readable themes by the community.

Yeah, I made a userscript for myself to fix that up: https://gist.github.com/xPaw/4fffaf776fe14d15c9602991f51dbfa...
