Respectfully, many of you have missed the point, though it may not be the point that @BlastYourMind intended to raise.
Users such as myself who suffer from light sensitivity and contrast issues are quite aware of the workarounds that you all have thoughtfully recommended. For example, I have to use the Eco lighting mode on my monitor, employ multiple dark mode -like browser plugins, and regularly resize my browsers to minimize white space overflow. All of this shit has to be toggled on and off and balanced throughout the workday. People like me don't need tips on how to have a nice day in an ultra-bright world.
What we do need is web developers who are 1) aware of the usability issues that are inherent in their white-on-white designs, and 2) sympathetic to the needs of their users.
In the same way that we've seen web developers choose color palettes that make their site more accessible to users with colorblindness, I 'd love to see Massdrop join the ranks of modern websites that are offering a better experience to users like myself by including a dark mode.
