Decides to try a trendy new open source text editor

It launches in dark mode with tiny font sizes because the devs are obviously all teenagers with perfect vision and no astigmatism

Change the font size. Seems to work

Change to light mode. Seems to work

Touch another setting. App immediately switches back to dark mode and default font size and stays there

Coolcoolcool. I don't actually need to be able to read the fucking text to work on it, right?

Dark mode isn't the default in OSes for a reason folks. It's one of those accessibility aids that's grossly inaccessible to a ton of people.

Respect the OS settings if you're making an app!!!!!!!

If a user has chosen light mode and reduced motion, don't fucking launch with dark mode and swishy animations!

Don't be an asshole!

Too many devs are being absolute assholes!

@baldur And test your app in light mode. I recently switched the Affinity suite to light mode, and there were buttons I couldn’t see because they’re light grey on a light grey background in light mode.

@baldur Also, the light-mode-shaming by dark-mode people has to stop.

“How can you work in light mode, you’re destroying your vision.”

My dude, you set your brightness to the max. I’m blinded looking at your dark mode screen. There’s more light coming just from the text on yours than there is from the background on mine, so shut up.
