Hey @Null (or @ anyone else who develops for KF) I have a feature idea for the site I know you are very busy, so I'll keep this as tight as a I can. Its very simple idea, but this feature could drastically improve the browsing experience on mobile for most people. This post is inspired by my real life experience on trying to read KiwiFarms on my phone, outside, during the day. Yes, some of us Kiwi's do go outside
So without further ado, here my idea is: Automatically switching site themes (between dark and light) to match device theme.
On all iPhones, and most Androids, they now have automatically switching day (white bg/black text) and night (black/grey bg, white text) across the whole base OS and base OS apps. (Even windows 10 has this now, albeit without the automatic switching based on time of day. but forget that, I'm focused on mobile right now.) Most 3rd party apps, and very few (in my experience) websites support this automatic switching. Where and when it works, it works beautifully, and vastly improves the user experience. It makes a for the perfect mobile reading experience, and would make a huge differenced to the clunky 4-6 click process it currently is to change the theme once, only to have to change it again everytime a outdoor-matching browsing experience is desired.
Thanks for your consideration. Just in case this isn't the right area for this post, and for the purposes of maximum exposure, I'm also making putting this post in the Technical Grievances thread. Someone please let me know if I'm putting things in the wrong places.
