Get ready!
Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
Timeline
Got everything ready for the 3rd ship with some README and misc changes!
Also made this demo video.
Some small changes!
Now I have a display for how far into the song you are and how long it is
+ I optimized the EQ and i changed the way it looks (hopefully) for the better.
I'm working on adding a frequency visualizer! It works but is kinda not that good and laggy, will work to optimize.
I added a title screen and a file selector! I love this starting to take shape more and more, I am actually using it myself.
I added a display mode for current track info, that shows you the (pixelated) cover art! Was pretty annoying to implement, but definitely worth it! I can really feel this coming together. Also, I am now using metadata instead of file names.
After quite a long break, I'm back to it!
I implemented some really essential functionality, going back to a previous track, lol. Also, I rewrote the entire UI code to use ratatui instead of tui, making for some much better and cleaner code. I discovered that working with terminal UIs is really cool and I love these crates.
Coming up, I plan on implementing another display mode that gives info about the current track and maybe even displays the album art in the terminal!
After a few more hours of work, I've managed to put together some basic playback features and a simple command-line UI, controlled entirely from the keyboard. It's coming together quite nicely! It certainly hasn't been easy trying to learn everything to make this work, but I do not plan on giving up. I will keep adding more features!
Starting is the hardest thing!
I have basically no experience with Rust, although I have programmed quite a lot before with other languages, using OOP.
This was pretty much a straight dive in, so thankful for the docs! They are life saving.
Until now, I have managed to write some wrappers and I'm able to get basic playing and queuing functionality going.
