That sounds unnecessarily harsh. Dark theme is far from necessary (although nice) and English-only still means most Proton users can use it.

Better to start somewhere and improve based on feedback than wait endlessly.

Dark theme is an accessibility issue for people with eye diseases like mine. If you both need high luminance contrast and have photophobia, dark themes are the only ones that are usable.

There are workarounds, like inverting all the colors on your screen, but they suck.

You can also use the Dark Reader browser extension [0], an open-source extension for Chromium and Firefox that works on most websites (including Hacker News) in the dynamic mode, restyling the page to a dark theme!

I agree with both of you. GP was harsh, but I personally think dark theme is necessary (and a very basic feature). However, I am grateful that Proton released this as I always felt _icky_ using tools like Grok or ChatGPT. I'm sure improvements will not take long to arrive.
