Add a dark mode

[David DeGraw]

I read HN at night in bed, so a dark theme is essential for me. This is better than any of the android HN apps out there, so I'd really like to switch to it full time.

I can contribute, but I'll need a little bit of direction on how to accomplish this.

Thanks, this is really slick. Especially saving it to my home screen on my phone!

I could see a dark theme being an option we include in the Settings panel that happens to switch out based on user preference. Perhaps it would be useful to mock-up something not implementation specific to start out with so we can review what you had in mind?

Could even be as simple as editing the Styles with DevTools and popping over a screenshot.

Something Monokai-ey?

@insin that's perfect!

[David DeGraw]

Tell me if this is a dumb idea: have the theme auto-switch based on the time of day?

The time of day switch would be interesting... But I think most people would prefer more of an either/or.
