I really hope the OP reads the following comment.
And, Hey, I promise, I wouldn't willingly... go *out of my way ON A late FRIDAY EVENING (EST)* -- as I low key peruse HN on some sh* mobile browser at a dinner event --
This is really awesome. It took me a second, but then I realized I'm inline tinkering with the product.
Don't let these "pitter, patter" HN minor critiques get in the way of delivering a novel product that is currently on the top of HN.
If it auto-went to dark mode, I would've probably been even more "whoa, i get it..". I know it makes no sense, but, default to dark-mode w/ a fallback header "light" option?
Also, for someone who has dark mode configured on their most visited websites, the light is a little overwhelming. Not at your fault by any means. It's just this may be your average visiting user on your app. I could be the only one, of course.
Excited to see where this goes.
