    Native Spotify client for the GNOME desktop

  • It seems like they are working on it as we speak: https://github.com/xou816/spot/issues/50

  • ncspot

    Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust, inspired by ncmpc and the likes.

  • Myself, I use a terminal-based FOSS client called ncspot, which works quite well(also requires premium ofc).

  • librespot

    Open Source Spotify client library

  • psst

    Fast and multi-platform Spotify client with native GUI

  • Btw, there's another Rust project called psst which similar to OP's in that it uses gtk3 (through Druid); personally I like the UI better, although both projects are in very early development.

  • Cassandra-to-Python

    Translates a domain-specific language, Cassandra to object-oriented Python

  • I know Python recently officially added type hints, but the annotations feature that enables it has been available for over a decade. I actually added types to a Python project (for an undergrad research class) I did in college all the way back in Sep 16, 2011: https://github.com/arjun-menon/Cassandra-to-Python/commit/667092e9af5c5d5df40fa4878ee3993b676f1c08#diff-387ee4f86afb5240eb6aea5d0f43fd414648ad5d2d511d3a33e7968481ccbd58

  • pyre-check

    Performant type-checking for python.

  • On pyre: https://pyre-check.org/

  • libuv

    Cross-platform asynchronous I/O

  • You can do async stuff in C using libraries like libuv: https://github.com/libuv/libuv

  • WorkOS
