What I learned

Learn more depth of an api, Toggle dark mode and light mode.

This is my favorite journey:

function specificData() {
  for (let i = 0; i < country.length; i++) {
    const languageCode = Object.keys(country[i].name.nativeName)[0];
    const nativeName = country[i].name.nativeName[languageCode].common;

    const currenciesCode = Object.keys(country[i].currencies);
    const currencies = country[i].currencies[currenciesCode]?.name || '-';

    const languages = country[i].languages[languageCode];

    return { nativeName, currencies, languages };
  }
}

Continued development

Im curious with using IntersectionObserver for this challenge, i tried a lot of way, but its does not work. Also i don't like the way i code the color theme switcher, it does not look good.
