Semi-related - I saw this on https://v8.dev a while back, but `filter: hue-rotate(180deg) invert();` can be a neat CSS trick to 'dark mode' some kinds of graphics, while not screwing with the colours so much. The `hue-rotate` help a bit to keep 'blues blue' etc.

It's far from perfect, but it's a neat one to have in your back pocket.

Anyone who thought Retool should have a dark mode has come across this. Definitely a useful trick.
Hey This is cofounder of a retool alternative here.

We did introduce dark mode in a manner where a creator can even make it dynamic for end user to choose a different theme.

While I was loggerheads with my CTO cofounder on this - I am glad someone finds this useful in the community of users.

I am curious what kind of use case you have for retool/ alternate tools where you see dark mode as a need

There is simply no situation in which I'd not want for something to have dark mode.
I find most tools easier to use when I'm not required to jam a live flashlight into my eye sockets.
