Basically, It would be nice to point out what those platforms are & what are their “Killer Features

For anyone who wants a quick glance at which platform might be suitable

    You made me go check, and the signed-out site on an incognito tab does autoselect my browser-default dark theme. It looks much better than the light, incidentally, and the highlight to the Fedi tutorial link makes more sense in this context and is clearly restricted to signed-out users as a call to action/promo thing.

    I don’t necessarily think the light theme is as awful as you’re claiming, and at a glance it definitely seems to be derived from Dark and not the othe way around. The more I look into it the less this seems like a universal problem with the UX in Mbin derivatives and more “the light theme has made some debatable color choices”.

      If you press the cog in the top right corner you can choose between six different themes, as well as moving the sidebar around, text size, and a bunch of other tweaks. :)

        Yeah, but that’s bad, though.

        Hypercustomization is way more of a hassle than a positive in most applications. I will take a couple of binary settings, I won’t design the UI for you.

        My contention here is that the default UI for the *Bin is actually good.

          I personally like being able to easily change the colour theme, but it’s of course entirely optional. Each to their own.

            Being able to customize everything and having the defaults not be shit would be great. Using the customization options, which are excellent, as an excuse for the defaults being shit doesn’t fly. To me.
