Show Tildes: Midnight.pub, a virtual pub
Three weeks ago I decided I should stop developing on my own and open my side project to get feedback. So here we are now.
Midnight pub is a writing platform that aims to be the virtual equivalent of a pub: you go there to talk about your day, interact with a person or two while you unwind, and leave whenever you feel like. It's centered around the idea of entries & references (backlinks) to connect entries together.
It's a small community of people at the moment. Anyone is welcome to drop by and say hi!

Perhaps its intentional, but for me, the #2b4daf text on #0C1632 background is unreadable, the contrast ratio is too low.
Thank you so much for that! It's exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for. You're so right, I've just checked the contrast ratio and it's very poor. I've tried something else now (links are same color as body, underlined). Cheers!
Should've left it to be black-on-white. A darker midnight blue could maybe work for a theme.
I've thought about it a long time. I'll keep it in mind, maybe go back to it later as I learn and see feedback. Thanks for your insights, love the midnight blue!
Consider per-user theming. Options make it more difficult to develop a platform, but if you think this is valuable, it may well be worth adding.
