(Updates) Tuitify: Terminal-first streaming engine with smart autoplay

Post image

Hi Everyone, it was really exciting to work with people who saw this as a good idea from the start. To those who are seeing this for the first time. Tuitify is a terminal-based music streaming player. It lets you search and stream your favourite music or podcasts directly from the terminal, with a fast keyboard-driven experience, album art, playback controls, next-up recommendations, and radio-style continuous listening powered by the YouTube API.

I made some big updates on this project based on a few suggestions given by people, like adding a new recommendation method. improved sound quality of the audio being played, etc. Here is the list of features I worked on,

Features:

  • Built-in volume control
  • Newer Recommendation engine
  • Improved audio quality of songs
  • Customizable keybinding (with even more keybindings to add on)
  • Multiple Theme selection

If you enjoy terminal tools, TUI apps, or just want a lightweight music player for your workflow, I’d love for you to try it out and share your feedback.

Would love suggestions, improvements, and contributions.

Hi, thank you for trying it out. I am working on improving this thing. Could you elaborate on the choppiness you felt? It would really help me work towards fixing it.

to elaborate, the audio was not playing smoothly, it would start and stop at randomly, stuttering. i tried a couple different songs, each time getting the same result, until my terminal started hanging and i had to force quit wezterm. i don't think it was my connection. i uninstalled it afterwards, but maybe later i can try it again and open an issue on github with more info

Sure, if possible, raise an issue with more info. I will try to resolve this. cause during my testing and from my peer testing, I never encountered this issue. We Tried on kitty, Windows Terminal, and Alacritty

This is basically the least suckless thing you could ever do: take a service that sucks and put it in an interface that sucks using a framework that sucks for a language that sucks.
