Darker Medium

In plain words

Darker Medium is a browser extension that applies customizable dark themes to all Medium-formatted stories across any domain. Users can adjust the header background, main accent color, highlight color, and link styles through an options menu. Unlike similar styling extensions, it automatically detects and darkens any site using Medium's formatting, making it useful for readers who prefer dark interfaces when browsing articles and written content.

From the sources

Darker Medium applies a customizable dark theme to *all* medium formatted stories. You can customize the header background, main accent color, highlight color and link styles separately from the option menu. No matter the domain, if a site is using Medium, it will get a dark theme; that is the main advantage over Stylus and Stylish.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
