A very unscientific poll about light and dark modes on web sites:
My vision requires that I use light mode
My vision requires that I use dark mode
I prefer to use light mode
I prefer to use dark mode
Poll ended at .
@zachleat It's very situational for me.
I have astigmatism, migraines, and some other issues that cause me to need light mode sometimes and dark other times. Some days, I can be fine with light when it's bright and dark when it's dark, but other days, I need it dark or light regardless of outside lighting.
(So I would probably check all the boxes if possible. Or at least both of the "I need" ones.)
I keep my browser (+ Dark Reader extension) and apps on auto and switch at the desktop level.
This is a great example of how #accessibility is seldom a binary choice.
People are complex, and their needs are contextual and often intersectional.
The best experience you can give your user is the one they choose.
