DevelopersHandbook Ability to have a 'dark mode' for the handbook

Handbook as it now is bright white. It also isn't playing nice with the https://darkreader.org/ extension.

Can you give it a look now and see if it's any better? We switched the theme to one that might be better.

Yes, much better!

It would be still nice to have some sort of js that toggles full dark mode. Would that be OK to have as a feature ?

I don't know if it's possible, this is an automatically-generated website created from Markdown files. Can you find another GitHub Site where they do such a thing?

If you use the TailwindCSS framework for styling, this is trivial. Depending on a LocalStorage variable it adds a global dark class to the <html> DOM element. This setting can be switched with some simple JS, respecting the system settings for dark/light or explicitly using the user settings for this website. Here is an example of a Hugo based static website, were I added this functionality. Could be used if there is Jekyll theme using TailwindCSS.
