Is removing Bootstrap from a five page site worth the effort?

Switching to dark theme flashes white on load. How do people avoid it?

ChatGPT

Set the theme before first paint with a tiny inline script in the head that reads the stored preference and puts an attribute on the root element. Anything loaded as an external file arrives too late, which is exactly what the flash is showing you.

Does this still hold if I am working alone?

ChatGPT

It gets easier, not harder. A fair share of the difficulty is coordination, and that disappears. What remains is remembering your own decisions, which is what writing them down is for.
