I built a light theme extension for IndieHackers
Hi Everyone!
I built a light theme extension (Chrome for now) for indiehackers, for the few people like me who prefer a light background :)
I really enjoy reading people's stories here, and actually find the current look quite pleasing. My problem though is I prefer to code with a light background in my IDE, and if spend enough time on this site my eyes adjust, and then switching back its like staring into the sun.
This extension adds a very basic light theme, and you can quickly toggle back for a session by clicking the extension icon. (it will toggle back to dark for the current tab)
Hope someone finds it useful: https://blog.pagewatch.dev/project/indiehackers-light-theme
(I'l add a link to FireFox once I get it working)
Thank you!
Interesting. The extension basically modifies the CSS stylesheets when it detects it's on IH site, right?
Pretty much, it injects new CSS at the start of the document, then removes if if you toggle it off.

Thanks for sharing. That's interesting.
Once I am getting use to dark UI, I actually don't want to go back to light UI :D
I use dark ui almost everywhere, so I'm kinda on other side.
I am interested what other will say.
I believe it can be useful, tough.
Yup most people are on the dark ui train these days, I just like my light background for coding :)
