Progressively-enhanced dark mode
Posted on:
Recently, I added a dark mode setting to my website. Dark mode is a color theme feature that’s pretty common these days. Letting users adjust the color of content so it’s easier to see is a nice usability improvement.
Many developers I follow have written great articles about their implementations, which are full of valuable insight. To name a few: Hidde de Vries, Sarah Fossheim, and Josh Comeau all have smart approaches with valuable takeaways.
However, I decided to take a slightly different approach than a lot of the solutions I’d seen – a progressively-enhanced version that works with or without JavaScript (JS).
