I always knew that there should be a way to have a button to change light and dark mode on my website without javascript. But I couldn’t figure it out (pre llm era) and gave up and just used javascript. Now it’s time to make an update on that. This blog motivated me.

It’s nice but probably not that useful as you still need JS to persist the setting.

For testing there are extensions which allow overriding the browser’s scheme (for Firefox anyway).

DevTools in Firefox and Chrome both have a `prefers-color-scheme` override built in, no extension required.
