I built something similar, but for the browser: https://dj.t-tunes.com/
Not 100% sure what I'm looking at, but I know that it looks awesome!
Nice app, though the naming is very close to others
This has "I got doom to run on my smart fridge" vibes, which are pretty fun vibes tbh
Finally, I can ssh to the booth from a tablet and take a dump mid-party.
Honestly this seems like it would be a sick party trick. Combine with some strudel.cc and it could be pretty cool little setup.
I guess this is a boring and predictable thing to say, but I miss seeing a project like this and being excited about it. Instead I looked at the codebase, see that it seems LLM-generated and assume it hasn't had much thought or care put into it, so I'm not really motivated to even try it out. Sorry. :-/
I'm a DJ/TUI nerd and as much as I want to like this, I don't think the keyboard will ever be the right input or mode for DJing. Maybe my mental model is an outlier, but multi-point physical controls are critical for so much of what's happening while DJing — the master level controls, effects, cueing, individual track controls, and even just being able to physically manipulate playing tracks. It just doesn't map to a TUI, or perhaps more importantly, it just doesn't seem fun. How does the TUI transition this? What makes a TUI the right interface?
