Show HN: Flutter - Control Spotify or iTunes Using Gestures thru Webcam

What's nice about this is you don't need to switch screens to pause the music if you find yourself writing/coding and need some quiet when you're in the zone. Granted you can do this with the mac play/pause physical buttons but that would require your eyes to look down and pause your thought process.

This happened to me just now after I installed Flutter, and it seemed to me that physical gestures didn't interrupt my higher brain functions. Of course when I noticed this it made me interrupt my work and come to HN to leave this comment. The irony.

Glad you noticed it. We want you to never think about controlling your music at all. This is one of the things I love too... we listen to music in a background, so controlling it should be in the background too.

That's what I like most about it too. Love not having to switch screens to stop the music when a call comes in. One thing: I didn't find the installation super intuitive. Probably some room to improve that experience

By the way I see great application in this for education, particularly with smaller kids

I couldn't have describe the novelty of using Flutter better myself.
