Does your product support dark mode?

Meow Product Hunt 👋 Now that Figma has a dark interface, does it inspire you to design products that support dark mode?

Only when it needs it or is acceptable, otherwise, there's no point.

@michael_andreuzza Hey Michael! How do you define if it's needed or acceptable? What stop you from supporting it in every project?
Michael Andreuzza
Well, @fmerian some UIs are not made to have dark mode. For example, a hospital website...dark mode, ...maybe not?...psychological effects, is out of place... Some of my apps, like colorsandfonts.com, It used to be dark for long time, but then I saw that the colours don't look the same, ... plus is a place where people comes to work, ... Is just an example.

@michael_andreuzza Absolutely! I remember the early days of C&F and its light/dark interfaces. Still a source of inspiration. Thanks, Michael! 🙂

@fmerian oh, yeah I remember asking for feedback about it :-)....it has rain a lot since then... you welcome, take care Florent.
Yeah, we have started implementing dark mode, and the reason for decision is to have people focus more on the contents than the UI.

@djteknokid Fantastic! 🙌 What’s the most challenging part of implementing dark mode from your point of view?
Rich Watson
I think every website should have a dark theme- if not then the users who need dark mode will use an extension, which can decline the quality of a website. I have astigmatism, and apparently a large population does as well. Dark theme is necessary to read a web page

@richw Hey Rich 👋 Totally agree. What stop product teams from supporting dark themes from your point of view?
Alex Robinson
Yes, our product supports dark mode. But we don't support light mode 💡

@alex_vidon_ai Love it 😂
Joe Gonzales
Evidently, a significant number of people share this sentiment. The inclusion of a dark theme is essential for optimal web page readability.

@joe_gonzalez_23 thanks, Joe! then, which app/website has a delightful dark theme from your point of view? would love to have your input in this Discussion.
