Hey Product Hunt ๐
I am Tiago. A few years ago I published one. VS Code Theme on the market. I made it for myself, dark, neon, unforgiving, and figured a handful of CTF nerds might install it. There have now been 225,000 downloads.
This experience taught me more about editor themes than I expected to learn. Some things I didn’t see coming:
People use your theme 8 hours a day.
Every unreadable comment, every low-contrast parameter, every token you forgot to style all becomes a GitHub issue within a week. You learn quickly.
“Looks cool in a screenshot” and “holds up in a real codebase” are different products.
My first version photographed beautifully and was actually tedious to work on. I remade it twice.
Each editor has their own country.
Porting HTB to JetBrains was a month of work. Z had another week. Neovim had its own semantic token model. I kept sending conflicting versions to editors because it was bad to sync them by hand.
Access is not optional at scale.
Once you’ve installed ~10k, every bug is affecting real humans with real eyes on real monitors. I started measuring the contrast when users told me that comments were hidden on their laptops, and I found that my own theme was failing WCAG AA in places. Humility
Themeri is the tool I wish I had when I shipped HTB.
Define a vibe, get a theme. Tell it “warm terminal amber, late night, low eye strain” and it creates a complete palette for you. Or bring your own colors, either way, each token descends at a contrast level (critical, structural, semantic, contextual, ambient) with an enforced destination, which is validated against both WCAG 2.1 and APCA (the perceptual contrast model that’s actually valid for text on screen). One source of truth compiles to VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains, Z, Nuvim, and every major terminal, all at the same time, all consistent, all actually readable.
It’s the answer to every problem I’ve ever had on Hack the Box, crystallized into one tool so the next generation of theme designers don’t have to learn it the hard way.
