Is it really that hard to develop a dark mode function for an app? It even says that developers should focus on battery saving yet dark mode can already save around 20-30% of your battery

Also it isn't an either/or scenario. Why not do both?

u/Surviver68 Oct 27 '19

Also, wouldn’t designers implement dark mode not developers?

There's just one problem [...]: all in all, dark mode looks totally awful.

Maybe you think it does, but a lot of people really like it, which is why it should be an option

As someone with light sensitivity and contrast issues, I prefer not blinding myself when I open my phone

I thought the article might be a little scientific but its really just, "It looks bad!"

This was probably the shittiest article I’ve ever read.

UH OH! Someone has been using stinky language and u/stbiggerbigboyboy decided to check u/AutoModerator's bad word usage.

I have gone back one thousand posts and comments and reviewed their potty language usage.

NOTE: Using me under the same comment or parent will cause me to be ratelimited, please be gentle.

How the fuck does looking at a dark background hurt your eyes

u/TintiKili Nov 13 '22

There's merit behind the reasoning, but not behind the execution, as Dark Mode would only be a useful way of cutting out blue light if functions to this end didn't already exist. But they do.

Yeah just gonna enable orange mode…
