With the new "night mode" that you can activate now, your familiar, somehow oldish, somehow strage, Steemit.com website will transform under your eyes in something completely new.
As you can see from the screenshot above, the theme uses a high contrast approach, suitable not only for actual night mode, but also for situations when you want to be more focused. It reminds me of the Mac Journal "Enter Focused Editing" mode, which actually reverses the way you add and edit information (visually).
I think I may get addicted to it.
In other news, it's not the big blockchain innovation that will win users on the long term, it's the accumulation of small, witty and nice features like this one. Look at Facebook for instance. It took them years to add "reactions" instead of "likes", although, from a technical point of view, this was absolutely trivial.
I hope this trend of "being aware of what users enjoy, rather than our own technical capabilities, which we know are absolutely astonishing, anyway" trend will continue.
