If I had to guess, I'd say you're using a too old versions of rust.

  The open-source, cross-platform API client for GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, SSE and gRPC. With Cloud, Local and Git storage.

  

Aside from the initial load that all Electron apps suffer from, Insomnia feels pretty snappy to me. Granted, I only have a few dozens of API that load 20KB of JSON max.

  📃 Get lyrics of currently playing Spotify song so you don't sing along with the wrong ones and embarrass yourself later. Very fast.

  

this, I wanted to make a little utility for getting lyrics for whatever song is currently playing on spotify[1] and ran into the issue for getting the song name without using the API since that's just inconvenient for the end user. The most popular such project does go that way though.[2]

I ended up writing a small library that does that locally cross-platform by using the metadata from the app.[3] The approach is probably not as robust as the API, but much faster and works well.

  Discontinued This issue tracker is no longer used. Join us in the Spotify for Developers forum for support with the Spotify Web API ➡️ https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/bd-p/Spotify_Developer

  

Slightly off topic, but it’s a shame Spotify’s web API doesn’t support (and they’ve said never will support [1]) playlist folders. I get that it’s a bit of a power user feature but it’s an essential one for me in any media player.

Makes me worry they’ll remove the feature from their app one day (they allude to it being a bit of a mess in the database) which would be the push I’d need to move away to either another service or a local collection only…

> Is that even possible for Spotify at this point?

Spotify are using Widevine on their web client, which is considerably more annoying to deal with than the encryption method used in the files fetched by Psst.

Nothing is stopping them from only serving files from the endpoint that serves Widevine protected files.

Then again, Widevine L3 has been broken[0], Google just keeps rotating the private keys used in the content decryption module.

• Video-Hub-App

  65 543 4.2 TypeScript

  Official repository for Video Hub App

I built an Electron app Video Hub App and it's fast:

https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

Electron is overkill for a todo app that you want users to open/close many times per day. But if it's an app that's used for 90% while it's open and is used a few times per week, who cares if it takes 2 seconds to start?

I don't understand what everyone is moaning about with Electron. My app uses 130mb of RAM -- is that too much to ask for, for a dedicated video browser?

  UI accessibility infrastructure across platforms and programming languages

  

> it'd take awhile to perfect

Some of us can't wait. That's why I, for one, continue to advocate for developers to make their applications accessible with the currently available tools. It's also why I'm trying, with my AccessKit [1] project (which admittedly is taking time to get off the ground), to make it easier for GUI toolkits to implement the current baroque platform accessibility APIs.

I'm also reluctant to concede that we're doomed to reconstruct UI content and semantics probabilistically from pixels, when that information is already there somewhere in the app. But it may be the best long-term solution to the social problem of trying to get everyone to implement accessibility.
