No MIT? No javascript? Is this a dream? I’ll save this to check it out tomorrow, but great job already!
What’s wrong with MIT?

tldr, too permissive and doesn’t protect future derivatives from being foss
Sorry, I’m not taking anything with the word “cuck” in the title seriously.
Luke Smith is a far-right neo-Nazi–sympathizer; there’s better advocates for copyleft to quote.
ah wasn’t aware, sowy
though his point still stands in this regard
Oh, absolutely (I’m a copyleft absolutist so I’m convinced, from the get-go).
But I’d also, just as much, like to avoid the n-word.
I tried it today and I didn’t like it. The key configuration is very unintuitive.
Also… Isn’t that visualization engine vibe coded?
What is unintuitive? Enter to enqueue music, Space for pause, Left and Right arrow to change the track. Backspace to clear the list. Escape or q to quit.
The thing that might throw you off might be alt+enter for enqueue + immediate play, which doesn’t happen with enter if something is already playing. It’s pretty easy to get used to though.
I’m not the developer of Chroma, you’d have to ask them. I think it looks cool though. You don’t need it to run kew.
