The move to gstreamer as the backend for Jams is finally done! It's gone from being able to play 70% percent of my local music library to 100%.
Now I can get back into developing cool features and building out the GUI. I'm doing this for fun, so progress is very much dictated by how much fun I'm having and how many real life obligations are happening at a given time.
To my new followers: I've been working on a bespoke local music player/organizer written with #rust and #libcosmic. There are lots of great Linux players already, but I'm making this one because:
- I wanted an excuse to get better with rust.
- I'm really looking forward to COSMIC DE and wanted something that fit it visually.
- I'm very opinionated about how music players should work, so what better way to get something that matches my taste than to roll my own.
- It's Linux! You can never have too many choices. -
Kevin knew there was something important written on the bottle, but he had never learned how to read.

In the interest of improving my rust skills, I've been working on a music app using #libcosmic. It's still in the toy stage, but it's capable of playing, pausing, and scrubbing through a list of tracks.
Learning lots and starting to feel more confident! Will make the repository public once I clean things up (unused dependencies and unwrap()s everywhere 😅)

My emoji picker app is now ported to #libcosmic 🥳. Next up, applets.

Just wrote my first GUI app! A simple emoji picker written using #rust and the iced-rs library. Lots of room for improvement, but good enough to use day to day on my desktop.

What next? Should I look into #libcosmic? Maybe turn this into a #COSMICDE applet? 👀
