While useColors offers dark mode support, some colors are statically set — plus cases where the mapping is not ideal.
(e.g. The text and background collide on the home list, eyes look off on slimy.)

It is possible to improve Dark Mode support with a better palette choice, but I would argue that this detracts from the focus of Slimy, which is teaching reanimated. By removing all theming, the codebase will be simpler to use and follow without any effect on the learning.

While the "Overview", "Get Started" and "Challenges" sections are great, there's still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to welcoming newcomers to Slimy — especially when it is used outside the context of guided training. Many ideas have come up (In PR reviews, conversations and trials with learners) about what specifically can be done.

One aspect of improvement it the mechanics of working with Slimy, with a focus on what steps someone needs to take from the moment they decide they want to complete the first challenge to having something set up where they can start giving life to Slimy. Right now this project is more set up as a showcase of solutions, but I would suggest there is room for the repository to also hold a "barebones" Slimy version that trainees can start with and build incrementally.

Another aspect is getting information out there, and a guide on what the challenges are. This could be done via a hosted solution (e.g. gh-pages) with a landing page that tells you all about Slimy and gives you a guide on what to do. It would serve as the "course" itself.

Creating this issue to further discuss.
