You can opt-in Dark Mode through your user preferences. Today, we are proud to announce the release of Dark Mode in beta for Stack Overflow. On top of our public Q&A platform, we also have our developer profiles, job listings, product pages, and many other surfaces.ĭespite the challenges, this opportunity was too big to be ignored. We also have hundreds of communities with different design aesthetics. We are among the 40 largest websites in the world in terms of monthly unique visitors.
There are a lot of challenges to implementing dark mode across a platform like ours. In fact, a request for Dark Mode is the 12th most upvoted question on Stack Overflow’s Meta community (out of 41,785 questions) and the #1 most upvoted on Feature Request overall. We know from user surveys that lots of developers visit our site multiple times a week and folks working their way through a tricky coding problem sometimes have a Stack Overflow window open all day next to their IDE. Update: Check out our article on how we made dark mode a reality.įor many years now, people have been asking us for the option to view Stack Overflow in dark mode. note: Dark mode is officially out of beta!
