  • Light modes
    I would love to see a comfortable light mode for the website. I tend to work in brightly lit spaces and outdoors, and the usual dark modes make it very hard for my aging eyes to focus (that being said, I really like the gradation in the site's default dark mode).
    
    Light modes can be difficult to get right (not too bright, good enough contrast, etc etc) but I think it would really pay off for those of us that need them. As a reference, mathstodon.xyz has a decent light mode, but I do find it a bit too bright personally.
  • Support inline LaTeX
    This is a niche request, but I'd like to register this suggestion for later reference.
    
    Mathematics, physics and computer science communities will benefit enormously from the ability to write LaTeX code in their threads and comments, and have it render when the comment is posted.
    
    Thus, I would write something like `$ x^2 = 1 $` and when I post, the LaTeX code is rendered either inline in the comment, or in a display math environment.
    
    Currently, only mathstodon.xyz supports this functionality, and while that place is great for narrow interaction, it is not meant to be or suitable as a forum for extended discussion. The site or sites that will implement this functionality will certainly draw the attention of professionals in these scientific fields, coming from such places as www.mathoverflow.net and math stack exchage.
    
    Adding this functionality may be challenging, and unrestricted latex code may pose a security risk, but these concerns have been overcome by places like mathoverflow, so if you are ever interested in implementing it, that is a great place to look.
