Introduce dark mode CSS

[jamietanna]

For folks who prefer dark mode, we should have support in the CSS to render as such.

Looking at the code, we may be able to bump to the newest version of Bootstrap to get this?

Doing an in-place update to 4.6.x of Bootstrap leads to some broken CSS:

And it looks like right now, Bootstrap 5 doesn't support Dark Mode either 😅

Maybe we'd need to look at swapping out Bootstrap for another (lighter?) framework that does support it?

I'd support this - far too bright when posting at night! I've been using Tailwind for recent projects which has great dark mode support. It would mean redesigning the views but there aren't too many.

It looks like dark mode may be coming to Bootstrap 5 soon¹. Although there would still be work to do, it's probably less of a jump from Bootstrap v3 to v5 than to switch to Tailwind. I'll keep an eye on progress.
