the app needs a volume control. It's playing at the same loudness as the system's volume, which is not right for a background music app. It prevents you from listening to it while also listen to someone on a video call!
I'm also starting to really hate this direction in software design where all buttons are either flat with the UI or hidden through some cryptic menu or swipe gesture or even worse, they're unavailable to the user, all for the sake of simplicity.
If you were to teleport 2003 me into the present, I would have no idea how to use most front ends of today's websites or smartphones.
I wasn't referring to this website specifically but to an industry trend in general of removing basic controls for the sake of simplicity and clean GUIs.
In firefox, every tab has its own output stream. On a suitably advanced platform, you control the volume of each stream with a system tool, independently.
Yes but I shouldn't have to dig through my system settings to change the sound of a tab. Imagine youtube or VLC had no sound control and you'd have to change it in system settings individually.
