Rant: Dark mode contrast is getting worse on too many apps I use

I noticed several popular apps recently have dark themes where the text and background colors are too close. This makes reading a strain, especially in low light. My own design had the same problem until a client complained about it. Now I always run contrast checks before finalizing any dark theme. Don't let your users struggle with bad readability.

Feel your pain, I'm squinting at gray text on every other app lately.

Squinting? Honestly just zoom in a bit.
