Sometimes the smallest switch in a product isn’t small at all! Dark Mode in Buffer didn’t happen by flipping a switch. It happened because our design team asked a different question: “How do we create a space that feels gentle on the eyes and grounding for creators who spend hours planning content?” Sofia Toso (Senior Product Designer @ Buffer) and Martín García (Senior Software Engineer @ Buffer) led this work; and in the video below, Alicja Suska from the core team (Senior Product Designer @ Buffer) shares the inspiration behind the experience, how the idea of komorebi shaped the visual language, and why depth and softness matter more than contrast alone. ✨ #darkmode
