topgrade VS spotify-tui

I don't understand why more people aren't aware of this: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade -I use it for Linux and Windows.

To upgrade all at once I use topgrade.

For what its; worth, I love me some topgrade for keeping my stuff fresh.

$ topgrade Due to a design issue with notify-send it could be that topgrade hangs when it's finished. If this is the case on your system add the --skip-notify flag to the topgrade command or set skip_notify = true in the config file. If you don't want this message to appear any longer set display_preamble = false in the config file.

The ncurses tui is nice, maybe you can make a wrapper with ideas from topgrade and/or Wingetui

You might want to take a look at https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade

Consider adding topgrade. Yeah, I know gnome-software is supposed to be the preferred way now, but I'd still rather update my system from the command line and topgrade will update everything.

Once you have it installations, you can keep it up-to-date with https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade

It was at this point I was getting a lot of joy out of writing command line applications. I had also just learnt of the existence of spotify-tui and wanted to explore more I could build such applications. So building interfaces for APIs felt like a good way to try this out.

If you are handy with a terminal, spotify-tui is my favorite Spotify controller I’ve ever used. No bullshit at all.

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

I dont know if it counts but I have used spotify tui on my pi400 a while ago link

November 2019

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.
