After years of Javascript frameworks noise, i still don't understant why people build simple things using complex tools, so to build a "sleek" music player, i need to know Rust, then Tauri, then Javascript, then Svelte, then all the tools to put all of that together?hmm sounds very sleek to me.

At least they own it when writing that ‘building a local music player relying on web technologies for audio playback wasn’t a great idea.’ Looks like a lot was learned and that’s really what this kind of project is for isn’t it? There’s not really a paucity of music players around…

Anyway, I have some hope that gpui will eventually be the framework that brings more people into the Rust gui space.
