It's not just an aesthetic — it's an accessibility feature

Dark mode is more than a trend. For many users, it's a comfort. It reduces eye strain, saves battery, and just feels better — especially late at night.
But implementing it isn't always straightforward.
Things I learned:
- Avoid hardcoding background colors
- Use CSS custom properties for theme toggles
- Respect system preferences (
prefers-color-scheme)
Good dark mode doesn't just invert colors. It feels natural.
Design with intention. And always test it in sunlight.
