  4. yazi

    Project mention: Building Debian packages from source in bootstrapped Debian | dev.to | 2025-04-17

    This article is dedicated to a terminal-based file manager yazi that is super mega cool, but it’s not available in any of Debian’s repositories - not in Stable, not in Testing, not even in Unstable.

  5. spotify-player

    A Spotify player in the terminal with full feature parity

    Project mention: Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-01

    I'm using spotify_player[0]. It is pretty bare-bones but honestly, what do you need? I got album art, a progress bar, and can search and go to my library

    Note that if you google you will probably get spotify-tui[1] which DOES NOT work

    [0] https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player

    [1] https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui

    side note: man... I really wish I had the time to write or rewrite some TUIs. I'm sure I'm not the only one... Problem with a lot of open source is that they're side projects. I'd imagine there could be state of things could be a lot better if some small org just paid a few engineers to make and maintain a few of them.
