Had a convo with a night shift nurse about dark mode colors
My neighbor Sarah works nights at the hospital and told me last week that most dark themes actually make her eyes strain more because of the contrast. She said blues and purples look cool but get blurry after 8 hours staring at screens. Anyone else had feedback from people who use dark mode for work not just browsing?

Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. A lot of those dark mode themes aren't really made for staring at all day, they're just made to look cool. The contrast is way too harsh for extended use, especially with medical stuff where you gotta be sharp.

Wait @adamcoleman, isn't this kinda overthinking a color scheme though?
