There are mainly 4 reasons for using dark mode.

Reason 1:

It’s trendy

This may be the first reason that pops up to every developer. Well-known web apps implemented it and are using it right now, such as Github.

It’s viral and appears to be going nowhere. In some cases, even users expect and ask for a dark mode (like StackOverflow users).

Simply put, it’s elegant, beautiful, and makes you feel cool like huckers in movies 😆. But that’s not all.
