#2Or any live stream on youtube for that matter, surprised this didn't exist before!

#3AVFoundation is pretty cool. You can whip out a simple audio/video player in a couple dozen lines of code. It was one of my first macOS apps/prototypes.

Is that really the point anymore :D?

#6How’d they get Claude listed as one of the contributors? Is that due to changes coming in to the repo from a Claude/github integration?

#7> Disclaimer: This project was entirely vibe-coded. I've never written Swift before in my life
Something I've wondered - but not had much empirical evidence for - is if entirely vibe-coded projects are difficult to maintain. I, too, don't know swift so I cannot look over the codebase to gauge this. I am curious if any swift savants out there can weigh in.
Furthermore, I will follow the project and keep an eye out for patches/discussions and try to discern any friction and/or loss in momentum because it is difficult to work with (e.g. more bug/feature tickets than PRs, etc.). I am aware it might fizzle out on its own, irrespective of the quality of the codebase. This will be a curious exercise for me. This may be my first empirical data on this topic - sadly on vibe-coded & maintainability, not the project itself.

They most definitely are.
However this project is so simple it's more akin to a script. Really not that hard to grasp despite not knowing swift.
Also vibe coded an android tv version and used this codebase as input ;)
