Design is illegible. Needs more contrast between text and background. I'm not even vision impaired and I was squinting immediately.

Haha, nice website, with the greyed-out comments on HN featured among the offending examples. :)
The whole brand identity is “late”, as in late night, as in all the lights are off and I don’t want my screen to blind me. I feel like this is a perfectly appropriate sort of theme, but maybe that’s just my inner 20-year old impugning my inner 70-year old?
So much modern GUI design is really poor for those a bit older where contrast is important.
The accessibility checker in Chrome/Firefox devtools would immediately flag this.
there are many many themes. some high contrast ones
Hmm maybe the tool has but the design of the website made me squint as well.
Me, too. For me, it was easier without the DarkReader plugin enabled than with it (which is kind of common), but it wasn't great to see either way.
Vibe coded slop has the same patterns of black-on-black and grey-on-grey illegible text. Mix that with piss poor monospace, small-size fonts and you have to squint to read each letter
I'm, by contrast, an able bodied person with functioning eyes and had no issues.
You might not have the average display.
