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 π₯
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." π
(I actually just said "turn it on for everyone" but that's way less dramatic π)
Click your profile in the top right corner
Select Dark Mode
Done! Your eyes will thank you π
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.
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! π
DROP A β€οΈ if youβre pumped for Dark Mode!
Love ya,
