The home page took over a minute to load for me. How is this being served? seems like you could optimize this.
It might be getting the ol' classic hackernews hug-of-death special.

Learn to enjoy poetry. There is so much of great poetry in English, but I think it is not being read and appreciated enough. It is a kind of mental challenge like doing a puzzle, to unlock the full vivid meaning.
Also reading fiction, though how exactly it helps one is beyond me, but it offers glimpses into other worlds. For example I read recently 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', I doubt its richness of detail, and evocation of place and time, etc can ever be captured in a film or even a miniseries, and on top of it is choc-full of tid-bits of information.
An easy way to get started is the YouTube channel Ours Poetica[1]. It's kinda like Audible but for poems (and free). Produced in collaboration with The Poetry Foundation.

If you need an extremely quick way to implement dark mode, you can use the darkreader[0] npm package. I set it up for our app in ~30 mins.
The only big downside I've seen so far is performance, but I haven't quantified it yet.

tyscorp commented on Technology Will Soon Give Us Precise Control Over Our Brains and Genes? ucsf.edu/magazine/control... · Posted by u/hhs
Reading this headline gave me a feeling of ... nostalgia. I remember similar claims when genetic engineering first appeared in the 1990s.
The thing is that humans have had the technology to read and write genes in various ways for quite a while. The problem is that this editing involves a programming-like-activity on a system vastly, inconceivably, more complex and interconnected than any human constructed computer.
Which to say, whole-organism engineering cannot happen if we use current methodologies. In fact, my guess would be that the problem qualifies as "AI complete" [1]. This doesn't mean it can't be solved but it seems mostly to be solved if/when general purpose AI is created. That may happen in 30 years or 10 years with a huge breakthrough or it may always be 30 years away.
There is a talk [1] I saw about programming our bodies at a higher level than genes. Analogous to editing HDL over physically altering an ASIC.
