I 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 DO…

The anti-aliasing is broken, it doesn't apply gamma correction

Software has finally started to get faster, and I love it. Pls don't consider this a spam, but if anyone is interested in a fast native Slack client, I'm building one, since Slack themselves don't want to: https://msga.app

Just tried your slack client, it has all the features I need and it is super smooth and lightweight, thanks!

If anyone is interested in selfhosting or wants to stop using spotify without losing the discoverabily:

I use explo+slsk+lidarr+navidrome, for access on my phone I use dsub2000 or symfonium but mainly dsub2000.

Explo is the software used for the discovery https://github.com/LumePart/Explo It automatically downloads daily jams, weekly jams and weekly exploration playlists from your listenbrainz account(free) using youtube, soulseek(with slskd) or lidarr (support was merged very recently).

I also imported all my artists from my spotify account when I migrated which you can do in lidarr with the plugin ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶ bellow ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶l̶i̶d̶a̶r̶r̶.̶

plugin: https://github.com/TypNull/Tubifarry

̶f̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶d̶o̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ ̶i̶m̶a̶g̶e̶:̶ ̶g̶h̶c̶r̶.̶i̶o̶/̶l̶i̶n̶u̶x̶s̶e̶r̶v̶e̶r̶-̶l̶a̶b̶s̶/̶p̶r̶a̶r̶r̶:̶l̶i̶d̶a̶r̶r̶-̶p̶l̶u̶g̶i̶n̶s̶

docker image: lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:nightly

This plugin is also needed for downloading songs with slsk in lidarr.

> 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.

I used to use hypem soo much during the music blog days and had a subscription etc but it seemed to stop working or something so after a while I stopped using it. I will have to check it out again

Winamp feature is great but so random, and I love how it's listed as if it's a usual feature expected from any music player.

Hoping for a future in which people complain about missing basic functionality like winamp mode being missing in their music player of choice!

Let me start: I was going to recommend foobar2000 with the spotify plugin but the lack of a winamp mode must be a dealbreaker for many!

> 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.

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 tha…

Spotify 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.

I listen to Flow State, SomaFM, and aggregate from local shows and a few people I follow on social media among other discovery platforms. (I don’t have a favorite yet.)

I found that Spotify was increasingly recommending AI artists and songs I already knew. It surfaced very little outside of my comfort zone and effectively nothing that wasn’t new. There’s a whole world of music out there that Spotify wasn’t showing me.

> Spotify is in the process of killing the librespot project How could they possibly do that? They cannot prevent people or AI from reverse engineering their APIs.

Anthropic can prevent people from using their models with the subscription plan outside Claude Code, why couldn't Spotify?

I just listen to NTS most of the time.
