This is sick, been thinking about dark vs. light mode lately

Same, watched this the other week and it kinda inspired the idea.

tldr: either is fine, health benefits are kinda unclear, prob best to use light mode during day, dark mode during night

Idk man, there’s countless reputable scientific studies out there by now that have for decades proven how bad for our mental health all this excess artificial light is. I wouldn’t say it’s unclear, it’s just another issue people divide on, like everything else. If there’s a design issue, maybe it’s as simple as designing for dark mode, instead designing the dark version of light mode.

What I mean is that there’s no proof that dark mode is undeniably healthier than light mode. Just because screens emit less bright pixels doesn’t mean it’s easier on the eyes.

Well, I mean unless you can just say that your own eyes feel a difference when staring at a darker screen, which would be the proof that they say doesn’t exist…
