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. Like “wears any classic Winamp 2…

Author here. Yes, the code is generated. Yes, the docs are generated. I agree LLM copy is annoying and will rewrite them myself. But I built this for myself out of frustration with the official client, and I use it every day, so every bug I find is fixed immediately. I also care about bugs and PRs from other people, as you can see the amount that have been closed on the repo. The only reason I would stop maintaining…

I agree that "author cares" and "author doesn't care" is a very important distinction.

But to me vibe coded is about reading/editing the code. If all your code modifications are by prompt, it is vibe coded by definition.

That hasn’t existed in software generally for like 20 years, to be fair

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…

on Firefox and Windows, it's a disaster

in addition to what other comments pointed out, on the demo ( https://www.egui.rs/#demo ) if you have a sidebar open, there is an offset of approximately the sidebar's width (though not exactly) between the system's mouse pointer position and the web app

I definitely enjoy Wrapped. But also something that keeps me in Spotify is the social aspect. If I want to make a playlist for someone, 95% of people I know use Spotify, so I need to have Spotify.

Yeah this is a good point. They also have a feature that lets you build and mix playlists together with others, not my personal speed but adds to the stickiness.

yes, that + jams are important to me socially

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 you…

you've listed eight different software doodads I'd need to accomplish what my one Spotify app that gives me access to everything I need for $15 does.

took few sessions to re-slop this to OpenSubsonic (navidrome compat) backend; didn't even looked once at the code, I love and hate the future we live in

thanks again for sharing!

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…

I wholeheartedly agree that we’re in a time in tech that is unbelievably enabling and exciting. I’ve learned so much and built so much useful bespoke tools for myself over the past year and it’s only getting better.

I’m quite turned off by just how many grumpy people here have to shit on everything they possibly can.

It was nice to finally read a comment that is unabashedly positive.

Really? You care about some stranger's work and how they created it? Pro tip: you shouldn't. Care about your work if you want, but "caring" about how someone else makes things and how they talk about it is just being a judgemental busybody and again, gatekeeping. As for my comment, I stand by it. If I made something genuinely useful, then it should not matter if it took me 5 minutes or 5 days to make it. You'll never…

Thanks for the tip haha. I am personally divided on it, but it’s more complicated than just quality or output for me. I will apologize if I came off combative - was in the backseat of a car so may have been a little direct. I think people care, all for different reasons. You care too - just when it comes to quality as you mentioned (and I’m sure other factors). In this case many people correctly pointed out that ther…

That's fair, I guess I was really reacting to the narrow gatekeeping-like case the OP was advocating, where time spent/invested - or only doing things a certain way - was correlated to legitimacy and being able to claim you "made" a thing.

Most immediate mode does a scene graph diff so it's not that bad I have a custom IM GUIs based ide thing in C++ that uses like .2% of my 10yo CPU.

Egui doesn't do that. But it's written in Rust and only updates when you interact with it so in practice it's way more efficient than I would have expected.

as a side note I absolutely hated writing UIs in egui. It is a really nice framework, but the iteration times were painful.

Hey, don't spoil the party. I knew that. Many others also. Now the dzr developers will break the functionality. On purpose. I used to use Tidal, until they patched something, and now FLAC is impossible to obtain from Tidal. Hopefully it still works tomorrow, sheesh.

Mate, it's been several years. They know.

That Tidal change was very recent.
