Light/dark mode per story

Hi Samuel. Love newsblur. I often use the story or original view when reading stories. I personally use newsblur with dark mode, but some sites are not optimised for that. I think it would be useful to be able to set light mode on the story view mode for particular websites to make those particular sites readable. I am including a picture to demonstrate the problem

Interesting. That actually makes sense. I think newsletters in particular have this problem, and it looks like that’s a newsletter. I could see wanting to have a light mode/dark mode override just for a particular feed. There’s a way to do this where I can expose the feed ID in CSS, and you can write a custom CSS selector to do this, but that actually seems kind of convoluted now that I think about it. This does seem like overkill to handle, because basically nobody is going to use this feature yet; we have to load every single feed request. For that reason alone, I’m kind of against the idea, but I’m interested to hear if other people also want to see something like this.

What we might consider is adding keyboard shortcuts to the theme selector so that you can quickly move between themes like light, dark, and auto without having to open the menu. That might actually improve the situation, and it’s just super easy to switch back and forth.
