I have included dark mode on my website and need some feedback, could you guys give me your thoughts about it?
The website is https://captionfy.io and I am not sure if the contrast on the dark mode is not too high and the text gets to bright... The website is still quite young so I am experimenting with many things I have never done, like a dark mode :)
#121212 is more soothing than #000
Thank you for the suggestion, tonight I am going to review the colors and I agree with you, #000 is a little rough on the eyes :) will check how it is with #121212!
I included the #121212 and it is really much better, thanks for suggesting :)
I like this site. is it for an international audience though? Seeing a bunch of portugese videos (in which case you may want to do a portugese version of the site as welll :) )
It is for international audiences :) basically for anyone who may benefit from captions, because of language or hard of hearing problems. And yes, I am actually Brazilian and this week I am going to translate it to Portuguese as well, thanks for the tip! I hope the website can be useful, often I can't share Youtube videos with some friends who need the subtitles... I will reply here when it is in PT as well!
you could take the white down a bit
the site is really slow... and clicking the dark needed 2 clicks, one reloaded the entire page and just the 2nd worked
Thank you so much for your thoughts! I am going to change the white a bit later today as you suggested :) and I will make sure the dark mode button is fine and also check performance improvements!
After creating a dark mode for the first time, I really regret using any bootstrap classes with -dark or -light hahaha I had to remove those and choose the colors on my own css... Probably there are other ways to overcome this, but I thought it was safer this way. Anyway, thanks again for the comment!
way better speed
the text on the posts titles still as bright as it was?..
So basically the speed issue I am pretty sure happened because I deployed a new version right before you commented haha
I haven't touched the code yet since you made the comment, I am going to do it as soon as I get home from work :) thanks for double checking and I will fix the colors as soon as I can!
Another thing I urgently have to do is make it more clear what the website is about... I have the feeling it is still quite unclear in the landing page... I guess I will put some gif of the subtitles editor for example...
Ok now I changed the colors a bit, hopefully it is noticeable. The white text changed from rgb(255,255,255) to rgb(240,240,240) and also the dark background changed to #121212 :)
