#522Nifty. Please be aware that this is not a "spotify client" per se. It gets the data from Spotify, and plays the audio from YouTube. It's an interesting invention, and worthy of the first page, if you ask me.
On the other hand, why would you choose to use spotify API for a start? Spotify doesn't have nearly the quantity of available music that Youtube has.
So many times when I try to find some music on my partner's spotify account it is just not there, and I give up and we listen to it via newpipe or freetube.
Re: Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
#523Very cool mixup.. I have yt premium, and I boycotted Spotify a long time ago. However, Spotify is probably still the best service for playlists.
YouTube Music pays less than Spotify per stream, if you're boycotting Spotify for that reason I think it's good to be aware of it.
Do you have average figures for how much each platform pays per stream? My colleague has his music on both and has said YouTube pays 2x as much per stream compared to Spotify.

Supposedly "between $0.001 and $0.003" from [0], but then this site[1] claims: > Plays on YouTube Music will gain on average $0.008. Although neither have sources. I imagine YouTube Premium plays match or beat Spotify on average. Of course, for anything, if you block ads AND refuse to pay for the premium subscription, the artist makes $0 from your listening. Hopefully you can support them off-platform via merch or ev…
is that true? presumably youtube still has to pay the artist for reproducing/streaming the song, even if you didn't watch an ad. I'm suspicious that the licensing agreement YouTube says "we'll pay you for the right to stream your music, unless if they use an ad blocker, then too bad."
In the countries where Youtube has an agreement of that form with music rights holding agencies like Germany's (in)famous GEMA I'd assume that to be the case.
For monetized videos, where Youtube directly pays the channel owner, I've heard a few times now that they really don't pay anything when neither ads are successfully displayed or the viewer has Premium.

Not wanting to argue, just want to say my point of view: Excepting for rare medical conditions, we all as humans have the same needs and "cost" of existing and living our lives. And therefore I don't think it can be very dependant on circumstances or subjective as to what is "making ends meet". I can't really emphasise with people who are wealthy or high income (which 70k is), who say they are struggling with monetar…
I don't know how to have a conversation with someone so willingly burying their head in the sand. I respect that you have that view. Have a nice weekend! :) Edit: >And I don't ask others about their finances or bring up the topic. Not that it's necessarily couth to bring this subject up socially, but I do get the vibe that you could benefit from hearing from others regarding their situations.

Thank you! Have a nice weekend also.

I think I'll first want to make 70K myself, before I seek out somebody to complain about how hard their life is with only 70K. Likewise, I'd like to own multiple properties myself before I have to listen more to people with multiple properties complain about their life.
Likewise, I don't think anybody working minimum wage or living in a rented trailer would like to hear me complain about my money woes, wouldn't you agree?

#526It's just much faster than spotify, very interesting idea.

To be fair it would be more HN worthy if they managed to reverse engineer the DRM of Spotify to create a custom client without the Spotify library (which only works for Premium users)
Would be far less worthy if, by the time we get to the README, we only get to see a take down notice from Github. Instigated by Spotify for breach of not sure what.
One of their terms of use is regarding using their API data alongside competitor services. This project fundamentally breaks that. I think it's on borrowed time.

#528Spotify about to kill off their API
It's using Flutter though, which isn't that much better.
Re: Spotube: Open-source Spotify-Youtube client
#529For something that puts "not using electron" so prominently I didn't expect it using flutter. I admit I don't really have much experience with it, I thought it was like react-native (but better?), still far from truly native apps. Im here to being told I'm wrong. I would love to, specially since we can transpile clojure to dart
Flutter, from experience, works really well on Android. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the web (see for example [1]). I think that if these performance issues were to be solved, Flutter would see a bigger adoption. In any case IMHO Flutter >>>>> Electron [1]: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/56257
Flutter on the web is absurd: At least when I last checked, it's been rendering UI widgets into an HTML canvas by default, using its own low-level drawing library.
That sounds about as good of an idea as the old Java desktop GUI framework that used to (poorly) imitate native UI elements of Windows and macOS: Everything always looked three major versions behind and felt extremely janky.

I tried Flutter on my previous project, it’s good, like really good. Dart has its weird parts but other than that, I enjoy it a lot.
I've heard many good things about it from Android developers. As an iOS user, I despise it. Apps written in it feel extremely janky. How is it even possible to bring down an iPhone 15 Pro to what seems like less than 10 fps in simple UI element scrolling?
