Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

All applications should start in dark mode, and then offer you the option to move to light mode. (sh.itjust.works)

Disagree. All apps should start by following the system mode. That way you get the app the way you like it and don’t have to change it.

Yup. The latest app I've built has 3 modes.

System (default)
Light
Dark

It gives that setting right on start-up and saves the users selection as the new default straight after. It's not too hard to implement. At least not in Angular. Native Android on the other hand is a pain in the neck. I found react native to also bee rather painful.
