Without looking at the codebase I am pretty sure it’s a vibe coded rust app, because this is what today’s most programmers understand about software.

View on HN

the commits are very fine grained and the text is unusually not AI.

I mean you can beat AI to do anything nowadays, but this looks not that bad

I'd argue nobody writes such long commit messages this consistently. I'm VERY sure this is fully AI generated.

The volume of commits is quite crazy. For example, he wrote a +486/-51 commit in 20 minutes (33287cb) with quite dense rust code. That's about 25 changes per minute -- very impressive! The docs also smell of LLM output, for example describing the app as native despite using egui/wgpu.

But hey, he's here, we can just ask him! @earcar

What about egui and wgpu is not native? Those are both generally what is considered running something natively. Both even mention running "natively" in their descriptions.

I guess what you mean is "OS-provided controls". In that case, ye that is not what this is.

and?

That's boring, and unmaintainable.

until someone comes up with a non vibe coded one ill be happy having at least a fast option

It's working way better than original client. What does it say about Spotify devs?
