Light Mode and New Font!

Added a light mode setting to the blog. By default, the blog should adapt to your system setting unless you explicitly change the theme (using the switcher button on the top right of the page). While the dark theme is heavily inspired by the Synthwave x Fluoromachine theme, the light theme is my own experimental pink theme. It turns out I actually prefer lighter themes when it comes to longer form reading!

You'll notice I've also changed the site font! The new font is Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, which is from the same family of fonts as Atkinson Hyperlegible, used by, the now defunct, cohost (RIP).

Given this site's layout has been heavily inspired by cohost, I thought it might make sense to adopt a similar font to increase familiarity. I've also been recently inspired by pillbug, a web-based GoToSocial/Mastodon client that tries to closely match cohost in functionality. If you're a Fediverse user, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Previously the site used Lexend a font I accidentally stumbled upon one day while looking for another one. As you can guess by the name, the intention of the design is much the same and continues to be a font that I am pretty fond of.

So here's hoping you have an enjoyable reading experience!
