and?
That's boring, and unmaintainable.
until someone comes up with a non vibe coded one ill be happy having at least a fast option

#72Without looking at the codebase I am pretty sure it’s a vibe coded rust app, because this is what today’s most programmers understand about software.
the commits are very fine grained and the text is unusually not AI.
I mean you can beat AI to do anything nowadays, but this looks not that bad

#73It is a shame that Spotify have not made their Dear ImGui-based version available:

Re: Fastpotify
#74Spotify is in the process of killing the librespot project that this and most third party Spotify players are built on. I think the golden age of music streaming is coming to an end. I’ve migrated to a self hosted library with streaming and radio for discovery. I hope we’ll see many projects in the space flourish. Many, like Navidrome and the whole OpenSubsonic ecosystem, seem to be doing quite well.
> radio for discovery Would you be willing to share a bit more about this setup? The only thing keeping my on streaming is the fact that its almost impossible to find new music otherwise. I know LastFM exists but it just doesn't click for me the way that streaming does. I like discovering music organically.
Hype machine used to be so good for this. I haven't used it for a long time but it looks like it is still going in some fashion.
Re: Fastpotify
#75I think the key call out with this is how cool egui is (the Rust GUI library it uses). Check out their website: https://www.egui.rs/
The demos are very good: https://www.egui.rs/#clock
Edit: egui is an immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. egui runs natively on , and on the web it is compiled to WebAssembly and rendered with WebGL or WebGPU. Everything you see is rendered as textured triangles. There is no DOM, HTML, JS or CSS. Just Rust.

Spoiler: Spotify has always been terrible. The golden age of music streaming was Zune pass where you could stream and download 10 songs/mo. And arguably Pandora always had a better radio algorithm than Spotify.
The first Spotify client, the one in Qt was actually really good. Things started going downhill slowly when they integrated Facebook then very fast when they threw everything through the window to rewrite everything in electron.

Buddy, it’s the same big tech gave you this opportunity. You are creating so much stuff, but most of them are useless garbage that no one cares about.
> You are creating so much stuff, but most of them are useless garbage that no one cares about. Are you so sure of that? One of my projects is at $5M ARR in just six months. I passed $400k in sales this month. It's an open source project. I'm teaching my wife to code and we're going to make a video game together. Surely you can see the value in that bonding experience? She never would have been interested prior to Cl…
Links to your $5M ARR FOSS? And is that Annualized Run Rate or Annual Recurring Revenue? I'm guessing the former.
> One of my projects is at $5M ARR in just six months. I passed $400k in sales this month. It's an open source project.
If it's the former ARR, then how are you at $5M if it took you six months to get to $400k? $5M/12 = $416,666.6666666667
Which correct me if I'm misunderstanding (I do frequently) but that means your best average sales month was ~$400k, not 6 months to reach $400k.

I left spotify around two years ago for a self hosted option (I mostly use navidrome+feishin). Music discovery was a concern for me as well, but then I realized that I didn't like the idea of spotify curating which music I discovered. So far, this is what has worked for me: - Actually listening to the music I have now. I think the art of listening through full albums has slowly died, but there is so much music we're…
Epic bought bandcamp many moons ago. Did they enshittify it or is it still going strong?
I've been using it sporadically over the past 10+ years and have not noticed any major changes, at least for my limited use.
