- Dark mode can be automatically enabled based on the user's location and local sunlight levels.
- The Geolocation API can be used to find a user's latitude and longitude for determining local sunrise and sunset times.
- The SunCalc NPM package helps calculate local solar times, including sunrise and sunset, based on the user's location.
- Comparing the current time with sunrise and sunset times allows for automatic switching between dark and light modes.
- Additional themes like twilight mode can be implemented for periods around sunrise and sunset.
- User preferences for color schemes should always be respected, especially for accessibility reasons.
- CSS and JavaScript can check for user preferences regarding dark or light mode.
- Including a manual switch for dark mode is a good practice, even with automatic detection.
