Well, i don't have much to say but to show.
This is what TUISIC looks like, It is written in CPP and at initial release right now.
As a Linux enthusiast and someone who practically lives in the terminal, One day someone asked me how I play music in terminal. (thanks to that someone BTW, that question led the whole journey started!), the only thing I got was some scripts, that time I felt something was missing in my Arch Linux setup when it came to music. I was using MPD & ncmpcpp to play my downloaded songs, but constantly downloading music felt... outdated, and now i was thinking what if i can just stream music directly from the terminal instead of opening browser and typing spoti..., yeah that's painful.
So, TUISIC started its life as a collection of bash scripts. (one of the craziest thing i know )
And If you are curious to know how wild bash script can get, you can checkout this gist ;)
This is what it looks like:
But then i'm an engineer and doing things in organize manner is what i am supposed to do. And one day i came to this repo FXTUI a fantastic C++ library for creating terminal user interfaces, so i started building tuisic.
Some Cool Features:
- Stream music right from terminal (bye-bye browser!)
- Easy to use (seriously, it's pretty intuitive)
- Vim keybinds (because why not make it look cool?)

That's really cool!!!
Aa a developer, who enjoy working on terminal and Linux it's really something I would like to get into.
Hopefully I can contribute to your work and bring some ideas in future. It would be great if I get to connect with you as a learner.
Looks cool!
