The thing I want most atm is a dark theme.
New user here, just got invited and started poking around the site, and the thing that most stands out to me is the bright white theme of the site.
Its a big trend that most sites seem to not be catching onto, users want a dark theme at least as an option, because the blinding white webpages at this point almost seem dated, and if you're browsing at night/in a not very well lit room, they come off as harsh, sometimes almost blinding. You can see the demand for this being fulfilled with plugins on most sites, as the websites themselves seem to be slow to act. YouTube for instance is terrible with its default white scheme, but pretty nice if you do the "secret" dark theme. Slack too, although I use a plugin for that, same with Reddit and using RES to turn on a dark theme.
So while I know the list of things to do is probably a mile long, a dark theme would go a long way to making the site more appealing I think, and give it an edge as a more "modern" website.
And a dark theme you shall have!

I want to hug you right now.
A solarized dark theme too, if you want it (I know I do).
Ooh ooh, do a theme like 4chan's Tomorrow and Photon please!
Ah, if only I knew how to apply this ;')
Ah okay, I have one last question then. How do I install the Tildes Extended into Chrome? The instructions don't make sense to me. It says "Change into the example directory and run npm install to install all dependencies." but I have no idea what the example directory is
Okay, thank you, that made things ten times easier lol
Doing my best :)
Keep opening issues on github (or PM me here) if you find some bug or have suggestions!
Not dark enough.
Black isn't dark enough?
Nope.
AMOLED screens need a darker black.
Does this look black to you too? :P
The Black theme appears to have the majority of the background as #000, and it displays as pure black on my AMOLED screen.
The #222 as contrast might be a bit better as #111, but at that point, you may as well start thinking about whether everything that isn't black should be dim green to maximize light reception with minimum brightness...
Is this dark enough for you?
:-)
