First of all: big thanks to Daniel and highest respect, for the work he did with the “Dark Mode” plugin. It is excellent. And actually it would have more than deserved to be included in WordPress Core.

But it was and is just not wanted. (Totally sad, really!)

The way Daniel was handled is shameful. So the commitment of a WordPress contributor is destroyed. Mind you, he invested it all in his spare time. There was no company that paid him and gave him time off, as is the case with the “5 for the Future” propaganda.

No, it was a free, independent commitment.

Now he’s hanging it up.

One less again. Another one who throws in the towel.

It’s so sad. So embarrassing.

And let’s be honest: if something was wanted so far, a way was always found, even off the beaten track, isn’t it true? But if you don’t want something, then an armada of rules will be held up and the whole thing will be stalled in less than a day.
