websites that don't support Reader View are worse.

@meowmaxing my website doesn't because implementing a dark mode is hard and I'm lazy

@solonovamax funny thing is that my website was originally just in dark mode but i found out i actually prefer light mode now and then immediately added a light mode variant

@meowmaxing yeah but I want my dark theme to be the default unless someone has explicitly chosen the light mode, but I can't do that bc browsers default to light mode

@solonovamax @meowmaxing You don’t need JS for a theme switcher: https://lyra.horse/blog/2025/08/you-dont-need-js/#lunalover

:root {
  color-scheme: light dark;
  &:has(#theme-light:checked) {
    color-scheme: light;
  }
  &:has(#theme-dark:checked) {
    color-scheme: dark;
  }
}
