3… 2… 1… Introducing…
Parole !
When I was a bit younger, I installed Linux and decided to rice it. I loved Cava, and I had the wonderful idea to make an app that could display the current lyrics in my terminal !
Unfortunately, I did not have the competences to make this back then, so I foolishly delegated it to AI… And I never had the courage to rewrite it myself, because it looked sooo scary and hard… And the ai spaghetti code wasn’t here to help me.
But I discovered Stardance, and I thought “Hell yeah, why not trying this ?”. Turns out it was easier than I thought !
Parole is a TUI app to display the lyrics of the current song, compatible with Linux (using mpris) and Windows (using winsdk) !
It fetches the lyrics data from LRCLib and displays them with Textual.
It may not work perfectly on Windows, because Microsoft decided that yes, it’s a good idea to not return the actual position in the song but rather a position that updates not every time + the moment it was updated. So in most apps, if you play/pause, you break it. That kind of choices is a good reason to switch to Linux, if you want my opinion.
Anyway, have fun playing around with it !
