Why music streaming services don't offer light theme? (self.asklemmy)

I'm using music streaming services from a couple of years now and the thing that always drove me mad is the lack of light theme. These dark UIs are simply horrible on plain daylight, and even on standard office illumination!

Is it so difficult for programmers to craft a simple light theme and add an option to follow system preferences, so that the theme switches to dark after sunset?

Both Apple Music and Deezer offer light modes. Should you want to migrate to another service with light mode (I‘d recommend Apple Music, even on android) a tool called soundiiz can help you port over your existing playlist and library.

I'm somewhat stuck with Tidal, since it's included in my mobile services subscription. Glad to hear that there are apps that do feature light mode. Their UX lead clearly has a brain 🧠

Tidal used to be great when they were the only one’s offering HiFi audio but they severely slacked since then and their use of the questionable MQA codec makes them a hard sell for the same audiophiles they originally attracted… But UI wise, they’re not the only dark mode only service. Spotify, YouTube Music and Amazon Music are all dark only. And Spotify and YouTube don’t even offer HiFi audio…
