FSPOT: A full-feature mini Spotify TUI client. Functions as both a controller (powered by the Spotify Web API) and a player (by embedded librespot), with encrypted serialization and whatnot. In order words, a full Spotify player. Made because of the memory hog that is the default Spotify client and the frustration brought on by other 3rd party Spotify clients.
Written in Python and C++. The main branch incorporates C++ as it is faster and far less "chunky" feeling than Python, especially when there are hundreds of strings being printed every minute, which, thanks to clever ANSI escape codes, mimic a TUI. There is, however, a Python branch if you want to try the chunky TUI. The Python branch, however, will not be receiving future updates because who wants a chunky TUI?
The elephant in the room: Ncurses. Ncurses overrides the entire terminal screen. I do not want to do that because I want my player to be small and compact. Therefore, I have taken the long route of creating a functioning TUI on my own.
# No proper installation script as of yet.
# No proper uninstallation script as of yet.
There are a lot of libraries that need to be present. The installation scripts copy precompiled executables so there's no need for acquiring a million libraries.
