I know there is an API, but a small change in CSS will be better @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark

look into the browser extension Stylus (only changes CSS) or the one named "Dark Reader" (which also only changes CSS to my understanding)

It's a common request and can email the moderators (dang) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966 There might be a reason why it hasn't happened yet or it's simply not pressing compared to keeping the website running. I use the 'Dark Reader' Firefox extension as work-around.

It is just cheaper to create an app/website in Dark Mode these days. The loud minority is placated and the rest don't care.
