Hey @Shinri-san! thanks for sharing the comparison. That makes the difference really clear.
I hear you on the pure black feeling too harsh, especially now that it’s showing up across both mobile and desktop. I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll add this to the feedback around bringing back a softer gray dark theme or adding more dark mode options.
