Would love to see dark mode finally land on the Fly.io dashboard. It’s the only thing in my whole stack that still blasts my eyeballs with full-beam daylight. Every time I open it, I physically recoil like a Victorian child seeing electricity for the first time. My retinas and I would be very grateful 
Ah, youth speaking. You must not have spent the decades I did staring at monochrome phosphor monitors - after that, my first color VGA screen and software that could plausibly do black-on-white WYSIWYG like, I don’t know, an actual sheet of paper instead of a facsimile of the darkest pit of the underworld, was like a breath of fresh air. I’ve never gone back!
As my vision ages I find that light-on-dark text is more difficult to read: the “glow” from the tiny white letters becomes very blurry and has an aura against the dark background which is much more difficult for me to read than the minimal blur of dark-on-light text. I think it has to do with that glow/blurriness going “outward” from shiny-on-black characters instead of inward from black-on-white ones.
I’ll never understand the fascination with dark mode most people have.
(note: I’m just kidding here - folks like dark mode, I think it’s inevitable and I can only pray for a toggle for folks like me who have seen the light to continue doing so - otherwise I foresee a lot of CSS overriding in my future)
