I tried for 30 secs or so but it really bothered my eyes so much that I closed the site.
Maybe if I gave it more time my eyes might relax and enjoy it?

When I finally decided to transition from nearly always using text interfaces, and basically, got a newer computer around the Windows 95 era, it took so much effort to look at a screen like notepad with so much bright white. It hurt my eyes to use the computer at all in most any Windows application because of how much bright white or gray there was everywhere. I eventually tried using inverted color schemes but that broke the usability of too many applications.
Basically over time I got used to black on white. We all have to spend time to adjust to differences in presentations. It's easy to forget but the eye and every function it performs is operated by the brain, and it's not an entirely automatic process. A drug or brain injury, or even certain states of fear or similar emotional states can cause the eyes to stop working properly, to stop focusing or for the iris to stop reacting to bright lights.
So it's not much of a stretch to think it might take some time to get used to looking at an inverted screen when you haven't done so on a daily basis for years and years
