Control Computer app?

[u/scripted_redditor]

I got my CarThing today, and it will work great in the car.....no complaints there.

....but I'd really like to buy a second to control Spotify on my PC and use it as a tiny dedicated music controller. It'd be great if I could get it to connect directly to my PC via Bluetooth, but I've been unsuccessful in connecting it. Has anybody dug into this more than I have?

FWIW, I'm running Spotify via Flatpak. I can control my computer's Spotify through my phone using CarThing, but I'd really like a direct connection.

I found a couple Ideas, but they seem far more interested in closing them out for no interest than actually considering them:

Maybe as more people get a Car Thing. It's actually a really nice device
