I'm using spotify_player[0]. It is pretty bare-bones but honestly, what do you need? I got album art, a progress bar, and can search and go to my library Note that if you google you will probably get spotify-tui[1] which DOES NOT work [0] https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player [1] https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui side note: man... I really wish I had the time to write or rewrite some TUIs. I'm sure I'm not the only one... Problem with a lot of open source is that they're side projects. I'd imagine there could be state of things could be a lot better if some small org just paid a few engineers to make and maintain a few of them.

Hi everyone, this is my second "Show HN" submission posted in Hacker News. The first one was https://github.com/aome510/hackernews-TUI. I received a lot of good feedbacks and suggestions from the community back then. For the second one, I also look forward to hearing the community's opinions. A bit background on the project: I started `hackernews-tui` and after that `spotify-player` (both are terminal application) because I want to learn Rust and build applications with Rust which I'm able to use daily. `spotify-player` is a terminal application that can be used as either a remote player to control another Spotify client or a local player with an integrated Spotify client. So if you already know spotify-tui[1] or ncspot[2], `spotify-player` is kinda a simplified combination of both =). I have made two demo videos for the application, one

in youtube (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jbfe9GLNWbA) and the another in asciicast (https://asciinema.org/a/446913). Hope you guys give it a try. Any feedbacks are highly appreciated! [1]: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui [2]: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot
In Show HN: spotify-player, a command driven music player on the terminal
Hi, the author here. Psst is definitely in alpha, and the CLI is indeed just an example (it's what I was using to test the core mechanisms). I'm sorry the accessibility is so bad now, but Druid, the GUI library, takes it very seriously -- which is not very common in custom GUI frameworks. So, fingers crossed, it should get better soon. Re. command-line Spotify clients, there is ncspot[1] and spotify-tui[2], and if you use Linux, Spot[3] looks like a nice GTK experience.

In Psst: Fast Spotify client with native GUI, without Electron, built in Rust
