Subject: [PATCH] Example/update blog starter (#66926)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

What?

Updated blog-starter example to support dark theme. Also added a button
to switch modes (User preference).

→ User can opt for dark / light / system mode
→ Mode is persisted using localStorage
→ Mode is also synced across browsing contexts
→ No FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content)
→ Full SSG
→ No additional dependency

Why?

Now that dark mode is a first-class feature of many operating systems,
it’s becoming more and more common to design a dark version of your
website to go along with the default design.

How?

- Used tailwind `dark:` modifier
- Used localStorage for persisting user's preference
- Used storage event to sync the mode across tabs/iframes
- Injected script to avoid FOUC
- Added appropriate comments in the code for clarity and readability
