    If anyone's dark themeing things, PLEASE do not make it the default or require a login to change themes. Dark themes have accessibility issues.

    me9, some people have difficulties reading white-on-black as opposed to black-on-white

    I know at least one person who uses black-on-white terminals because of that.

    jonas’: Mhm. I think I understand. Is there anything else than that?

  7. jonas’

    not sure, not an expert on these topisc.

    me9: https://link.medium.com/UWXWq4u6wkb this is about the best summary of the issues, which somewhat ironically is on medium which has its own form of accessibility problems.

    when in doubt, use tools to assess the accessibility of the things you build :)
