Lior, the creator of Darkness here. Darkness was created as a result of my personal pain (literally pain - I mean it). Working 15 hours a days in front of a computer screen, I found that prolonged and repetitive use of bright websites cause eye strain and fatigue. While a lot of software has the ability to switch from bright to dark themes, most big websites… See more

Rotem Yakir@rotemthegolfer · Guggy CEO - Fun-up Your Message
@liorgrossman Hey, it's really looks great. However, I could only use it on Google and Facebook. I understand that a "man gotta eat" but paying 5$ seems very steep to get 2 more site especially when there are 1000 more sites that you could add. I believe that getting 10+ sites for free and paying 5$ to get 100+ more seems more reasonable. But hey, that is ju… See more

@rotemthegolfer Thanks for the feedback! 100% fair point. Developing Darkness is challenging, since a designer has to work for a few days to skin each any every website (unlike some other solutions, we're not inverting the website's colors, but we build hand-crafted unique CSS for each website). Therefore, offering Darkness for 100+ websites seems unlikely a… See more

@liorgrossman Perhaps you can open source the extension's CSS skin files so other developers can help you enable this extension on different websites. I would love to help out if you did this!

@srikarg that's already possible using an extension like Stylish: https://www.producthunt.com/tech... Darkness focuses strictly on dark themes that are easy on the eyes so it's ultimately easier for end users to make use of it. I think the commercial model helps to ensure high quality themes too, something that can vary greatly with extensions like Stylish.

@liorgrossman Hey, It's great. I love dark themes, they definitely help for the eyes. Since you say, your designer has to skin every site, I have an idea but I'm not sure if it would work. If you've used Flux on Mac, There's an option called "Color Effects" and if you go inside it, it has an option called "Darkroom" which when you select, turns the whole scr… See more

@liorgrossman Love this, any chance of bringing it to Firefox? Not a Chrome user for privacy reasons, but really struggle with long stints in front of bright websites.
