  Hello! Long-time user of Day One. Recently started using it heavily again and I overall like the new design of the Mac app, but the light blue color of hyperlinks and hashtags, and the light grey of blockquotes is hard to read on a white screen. I checked them both with the WCAG contrast checker and they both fail. Would it be possible to pick new colors for these that would be more readable? Here are permalinks to the tests. Thanks!
