No problem, the design is a bit unorthodox but that's on purpose. Think different.

Don't hesitate to let me know about your experience, perhaps through DM. I'm very interested in handling large music collections right.

What is unintuitive? Enter to enqueue music, Space for pause, Left and Right arrow to change the track. Backspace to clear the list. Escape or q to quit.

The thing that might throw you off might be alt+enter for enqueue + immediate play, which doesn't happen with enter if something is already playing. It's pretty easy to get used to though.

I'm not the developer of Chroma, you'd have to ask them. I think it looks cool though. You don't need it to run kew.

I actually haven't tried it myself.

The visualizations wont work, but that is an external program (Chroma) that you have to install separately.

I have tested it on tty though and made sure there is a color mode that works with it and that it renders flicker free.

If you try it I'd love to hear impressions, in a dm.

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

[–] ravachol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

No, there isn't. Maybe there should be.

You could make an issue for it if you want it!

The explanation that was given to me: "the flake references this repo as a source. You don't need to manually bump versions - when users run nix flake update, they pull the latest commit automatically. So it's mostly self-maintaining since it tracks the repo directly."

You'll likely be fine with the official package.

Thanks man! Yeah I've tried to make this project as pure as possible.

 

New in this version:

  • New playback pipeline with improved performance and latency (built on miniaudio)

  • Real-time ASCII visualizations (via Chroma)

Free, open source, no tracking, completely offline
