Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The https://hyper.is/ website only has a dark scheme.
It can be really hard to browser for people like me.

Describe the solution you'd like
Even though having a dark or light scheme by default is opinionated, having a switch to toggle to a light scheme would make it more accessible.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a light scheme by default 😅

Additional context
My eyes really struggle using websites with dark backgrounds 😭
