I changed my site to use the Nord Theme.

@mandaris Nice, looks good! I like how you did the link hover state 👍

@Burk Thank you! Right now, it's just a color swap of the default Marfa template. I thought about doing the template over but I told myself I'd limit my technical projects.

@pimoore @mandaris I used to be a devoted fan of Nord until I discovered Github Dark Dimmed for VS Code. I hadn't realised how low contrast Nord was until the switch. For coding/terminal use, the high contrast really helps.

@purisubzi That’s really nice, reminds me of Molokai which I used for a long time before switching to Gruvbox, and eventually settling on Nord. Too bad it’s only available — I assume — for VS code.

@pimoore As far as I know, officially only available for VS Code, but I extracted the colors out and have since deployed the combination to iTerm. Along with the Input system of fonts, it makes for a really comfortable and pleasing coding environment.

@purisubzi @pimoore I was afraid of the contrast as well, but I ran it the colors through an accessibility test and it passed. I was tempted to use @burk's dracula color theme because of the colors.

@mandaris @purisubzi @burk Dracula theme is really well done, and just like Nord has support for a lot of apps. I’d use it without question if it wasn’t for Nord.

@mandaris @pimoore I love Dracula, but these days I find myself working in a slightly dimly lit environment and the contrast was just too eye-searing for me! I started with Nord, went to Dracula and finally settled on the GitHub colors.
