Just came to say that official client (all its processes combined) uses 1.1Gb of RAM on my macbook air, while this, playing the same track from the same playlist and nothing else, gets only up to 280Mb

I realise I’m pissing into the wind here, but I find the LLM text on the homepage and docs quite funny/ awkward. > “Ctrl+M turns it into a tiny player that wears any classic Winamp 2 skin, spectrum analyser, equalizer, and playlist included. 2000s vibes, pixel for pixel.” Everything is said with too much intensity, and phrasing that sounds impressive but doesn’t really mean that much.

There is a tribe of people who carve bots out of trees using their hands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugout_canoe . It stupid to waste time doing something a computer can do reasonably well. IMO

Icymi, "carving bots out of trees" is a wonderful and apposite autocorrect. There's layers to this thing, man!

Interestingly enough, https://fastpotify.rocks/winamp/ shows what I dislike about LLM-generated text: From "The buttons do what they say [...]" to "[...] a different format and are not supported" is just a huge wall of text without any visual guidance. It's as if the person writing these lines didn't care about the result. One could argue that people not caring about written documentation isn't anything new, but in t…

I prioritized shipping over carefully crafting docs. I thought nobody would read them and they'd rather enjoy the software. I was wrong. I'll rewrite them.

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…

Presumably https://getartcraft.com/ , after some light stalking.

"Controllable AI for artists".

"AI for artists", Carl!

Because the official client is an electron app.

Uhm yeah, that is "literally what" territory.

I think the key call out with this is how cool egui is (the Rust GUI library it uses).

Devs are constantly making the mistake of falling in love with immediate mode GUIs... because it's convenient for them , the developer.

No, it’s fine. It’s the longer term DX that takes a hit. Anything other systems can do, immediate mode can do, because like those systems you can always cache across frames. The same can’t really be said for retained mode. We wrote some about it here: https://tritium.legal/blog/desktop

Can you list your exact complaints? It's a GUI like any other.

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 feel I am in the golden age of music streaming right now. Just use Deezer instead of Spotify.

Perfect quality and it great selection.
