24 alternatives to Supersonic: a desktop client for Subsonic music servers built with Go
For the past several months I've been working on a new cross-platform desktop client for self-hosted Subsonic music servers. The second alpha release was just published yesterday! Built with Go and the Fyne UI toolkit, and using libmpv as an audio backend, Supersonic supports high quality gapless playback of pretty much every audio format, and is fast and lightweight on resources. It also features infinite scrolling through albums.

When listening to music, I often don't play whole albums, but string together songs that capture my current mood. In the past, I've written a tool that records my hearings and generates suggestions from my usual listening patterns[1] and used it with some scripts around mpd. This made my way of listening to music easier and worked decently, but I wished I could also sync and use this with my phone. Recently I've discovered Subsonic, a protocol for music servers and players. It caught my eye, because it supports "scrobbling" (apparently the common term for "recording hearings") and generating…

I'm building a video conferencing app designed to facilitate better remote piano lessons.

I'm surprised with how well the MVP has worked and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Here is the backstory: I used to use YouTube Music, but then I deleted my Google account. I didn't want Spotify because I hate it for various reasons, and at the same time I wanted to show off my programming skills. So here we are. --- On the client: solidjs + tailwindcss + minisearch. IndexedDB as the database. One web worker to download audio to OPFS. Another web worker for indexing with minisearch. On top of this a service worker to precache static assets and make the app work offline. On the server: bun + astro + sqlite + ffmpeg. Full-text search is implemented with fts5. Astro Actions…
