node-spotify VS psst

Cool to see someone who worked on this :) Back in the day I wrote a (probably really bad, not a C/C++ developer) wrapper around libspotify for Node.js: https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/node-spotify

At some point it could do enough for me to build a webapp with Node.js running on a Rapsberry Pi to stream Spotify.

I even got contacted by Spotify to take down the domain node-spotify.com for it.

On the other hand, this Rust-based one called Psst looks awesome and works: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.

psst, https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

I don't know how can I install this open source software from github.

Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality).

You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.

There's also this project, written in Rust, which is a great GUI Spotify client https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

There‘s a Spotify client, psst, which has an Async widget (with a Promise state struct) that works very well for loading states etc. That project has a bunch of other tidbits and interesting patterns for Druid, I learned a ton from the code.
