I am working on my own Youtube Music/Spotify replacement, just so I can ditch the youtube premium on mobile. Already have $180 ARR prebooked (the money that I used to pay for youtube music), looking forward for more. if anyone has links for open-source self-hosted spotify/yt music replacement, I would gladly appreciate links

I tried to do something like that here: https://musicdocks.com/

Github: https://github.com/jantznick/youtube-spotify

It essentially uses youtube as the music source, I think I heard somewhere that playing through embedded videos skips ads but I'm not really sure, in all my time testing it I never noticed ads, but I'm also on premium so that may have been why.

by all means critique, I don't know that I have a ton of time left for it and I'm sure there's bugs here and there. I was having issues getting it to autoplay on desktop when the window itself wasn't the active tab. I never really tried it on mobile.

I was trying to get some DB of artist/song info but doing that was proving to be complicated.

Nothing says “AI enthusiast” more than automating away social interaction.

I wish I had time, but I would definitely make some Android apps to sideload onto my phone. They would be very bespoke and probably only relevant to me, but they would be streamlined to my life.

You mean ..to install.. right?

A github client / dashboard that can pull 20 of so repos for all internal and client projects in one UI so I can stay on top of project delivery and long standing bugs. It has global search, bookmarking and text based / minimalistic ui for maxium space utilisation and information density. It's read only so to comment on issue i click a link to open GH in new tab but helped me a lot to have this birds eye view on my company. Don't get me started on GH Project. I tried Linear many times but multi project / multi repo is just not their core focus and it shows.
