View transitions
I've wanted smoother navigation on this site for a while. For years the standard behaviour on a multi-page site is that you click a link, the old page disappears, and the new one snaps into place.

Dark mode
Dark mode can provide a number of benefits for consuming content: reduced eye strain due to emissive displays, particularly in low-light environments; reduced power consumption on some display types (e.g. OLED); reduced blue light exposure; and more.

Some applications or websites allow a user to explicitly choose between light and dark modes, others respect the system settings and don't provide the ability for the user to override this.
