Do I have to add a dark mode now?

• Article by Koos Looijesteijn providing reasons why you may want to consider creating a dark mode for your website. There’s a lot of hype around dark mode since its addition to MacOS Mojave and iOS 13, and it should help support the sizeable proportion of users who can find white backgrounds quite glaring to read against. He links to Charles Reynolds-Talbot’s article that talks about this in more technical detail, as it highlights the new @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) media query you can start using to deliver dark mode CSS to users who have indicated a preference. At time of writing this is now supported in Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Android Browser.
