No your writing is fine, and sorry if I'm being a negative nancy. It's just that light text on black backgrounds cause me eye strain so they're not really my cup of tea. The light grey font color does help a litte though. I often experience lines of text being burned into my vision with these themes, and that effect was not as noticeable here.

I am admittedly not a fan of dark themes in general, but I feel they are done right when the dark background is toned down a bit so you're not staring at a pitch black screen. And not just by a few shades.

As an aside, I didn't even know GitHub had a dark theme. I just tried it and it was horrible. Then I switched from dark default to dark dimmed and it was much more tolerable, although I still prefer light.

That's okay, I really appreciate the feedback! I'll give this some thought and see if I can tweak the colours a little. I often find myself falling back on Firefox's 'Reader View' if I find a website's colour theme a bit too jarring.

Would you consider it against the intention of your site to include either a dark/light theme toggle, a prefers-color-theme CSS style, or both?

The colors are fine. It's the text measure (around 90) that's having the user do too much work. That should be around 55-60.

If you have to use Reader View that is a clear sign that the website is broken.

The point of a dark theme is to be... dark. What darkness of gray would be agreeable to you? Just curious. #111 too dark? #444?

Anything #666 or higher is way too light for an aesthetically-pleasing dark background imo.

Web accessibility guidelines suggest a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1, or for AAA success 7:1. https://webaim.org/articles/contrast/

At 13.5:1, the contrast ratio on your site (#D8DAD7/#0F100F) is a bit much. With a background of #444444 the ratio would be 6.92:1, just shy of a AAA result.
