What I learned

While working through this project I learned about the prefers-color-scheme CSS media feature but I ended up removing the media queries from the project when I realised that my toggle theme button worked on Chrome but not Firefox.

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  body {
    background-color: #000;
    color: #fff;
  }
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  body {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #000;
  }
}
