This Is Apfelhammer!

I just finished the work on TerminalDrome 0.2.2 and I am really proud of it, because I don't know nothing about Rust programming language but the Terminal NaviDrome Client is running very well :-)

I am proud to announce the release of TerminalDrome 0.2.0 as a feature-rich stable version to the public. It is still alpha but it works on a daily basis here on my Powermac G5 or the Mac Mini M4.

There are compiled binaries available for arm64, ppc64 and armhf. But TerminalDrome will build on every Linux with Rust and Cargo.

Since I recently discovered how relaxing programming can be, I've been tinkering with my Navidrome-compatible terminal client called TerminalDrome almost every day.

I've now integrated a new feature, which I've moved to Main:

A simple search function:

• Press slash / and the search will open.
• Enter the search term, press Enter, and you'll see the search results in the right panel.
• It's neither alphabetically sorted nor otherwise organized.
• Additionally, there's a feature in the leftmost panel where you can jump directly to the beginning of the respective artist by pressing a letter of your choice. So if I press D, I'll land on D.A.F., or Q on Queens Of The Stone Age—you get it?

I'm very proud.

TerminalDrome is written in Rust and can be downloaded and compiled using the following command. You'll need the Rust toolchain and mpv.

git clone https://github.com/thafaker/termnavi.git TerminalDrome
cd TerminalDrome
cargo build && cargo run

I've also explained this on my Github repo.

My little Terminal Navidrome Project TerminalDrome is evolving and works a little bit better from day to day. So, what is working?

• safes the state of the panes to come back later
• in pane 4 it shows the elapsed time and a small bar is going to 100%
• it plays the songs of an album from 1 to last

What does not work:

• it won't changes the now playing bar when a new song is playing

This is a screenshot of my real Powermac G5 running TerminalDrome in the wild.

Because there's already a Terminal Navidrome client called NaviTerm, and I don't really like my name TermNavi, I decided to rename my software TerminalDrome. Of course, that sounds completely stupid, but at least it's better than a copy.

I think my software will soon become famous.

Oh, and it doesn't even work properly yet. :-)
