Dark Mode is Here to Save Your Eyes πŸ‘€ (In Beta) πŸ”₯

I'm just gonna be real with you.

I fucking hate building Dark Mode

In fact, I fought Qazi against releasing it because I knew it wasn't 100% there yet πŸ₯Š

But then...

I was using Poppy late at night, eyes burning, squinting at my screen like an idiot.

I switched to Dark Mode Beta and my eyes just... rested.

And I realized - you know what?

Even if it's not perfect, if it helps people's eyes at night, it's worth releasing.

So I called David, our crazy PM, and said: "Release the Kraken." πŸ™

(I actually just said "turn it on for everyone" but that's way less dramatic πŸ˜‚)

🎯 HOW TO TURN IT ON:

  1. Click your profile in the top right corner

  2. Select Dark Mode

  3. Done! Your eyes will thank you πŸ‘€

πŸ› οΈ HERE'S THE DEAL:

Building Dark Mode is WAY harder than people think:

  • Every single color needs to be properly picked

  • Every new feature we build now takes DOUBLE the time to support both light and dark modes

We don't have the dev capacity to make it perfect right now.

But I'd rather give you something that helps than wait for perfection.

πŸ“’ QUICK REQUEST:

Please don't spam us with "these colors look weird." Trust me, I know. We'll keep improving it.

But if you have helpful suggestions, drop them in our feedback.getpoppy.ai- we're always in there reading and responding!

P.S. If you know any talented devs who want to help us make Dark Mode even better, text me at 248-890-8895!

Trust me, WE NEED DEVS! πŸ™
