Maybe it would be better if the circle didn’t have such a high contrast. I don’t want a black circle burnt into my eyes after I’m done with this exercise.

- junetic 3y agoHover on top of page to choose bg/contrast
- junetic 3y agogood feedback! thanks
- troyvit 3y agoI enjoyed trying to tell if the circle had a 3d aspect to or not, and also trying to tell if it was completely black or actually dark dark gray. I'm not sure if I'm cognitively more focused but I'm going to try it again when I need that focus.
- hn8305823 3y agoI had a slightly different reaction: I was very distracted by the visual artifacts (brain processing, not the actual image), especially around the edge of the circle.
- noir_lord 3y agoI was as well - everytime I see one of these they also pause too briefly at the change over from inhale/exhale and back. It's disconcerting because its not how I naturally breathe.
- lloeki 3y agomaybe this one works better? https://lassebomh.github.io/box-breathing/ https://lassebomh.github.io/box-breathing/
- jonhohle 3y agoYes! In my periphery it looked like a polygon but when I focused on the edges it seemed like a properly antialiased circle.
- msluyter 3y agoIndeed. I kept wondering if the circle was actually getting lighter as it got smaller or if that was just how I was perceiving it due to the afterimage and whatnot.
- stevage 3y agoI use the browser extension Dark Reader and I found it a soothing low contrast.
- wruza 3y agoI believe everyone who wants dark mode actually wants Dark Reader instead. Also, half of the "dark mode"-enabled sites are more toxic to my eyes than their bright versions. Dark Reader allows to set the desired brightness, contrast, grayscale, etc. It's one of extensions that makes you instantly regret you didn't install it earlier.
- stevage 3y agoGenerally I prefer sites that actually implement their own dark mode. Dark Mode Reader is good, but it's not perfect. And it makes a lot of map-based sites pretty weird.
- DesiLurker 3y agoI actually wanted reverse, dark page with pale white circle. it felt too bright.
