I'm a DJ/TUI nerd and as much as I want to like this, I don't think the keyboard will ever be the right input or mode for DJing. Maybe my mental model is an outlier, but multi-point physical controls are critical for so much of what's happening while DJing β€” the master level controls, effects, cueing, individual track controls, and even just being able to physically manipulate playing tracks. It just doesn't map to a TUI, or perhaps more importantly, it just doesn't seem fun. How does the TUI transition this? What makes a TUI the right interface?

This has "I got doom to run on my smart fridge" vibes, which are pretty fun vibes tbh

Finally, I can ssh to the booth from a tablet and take a dump mid-party.

Honestly this seems like it would be a sick party trick. Combine with some strudel.cc and it could be pretty cool little setup.

I guess this is a boring and predictable thing to say, but I miss seeing a project like this and being excited about it. Instead I looked at the codebase, see that it seems LLM-generated and assume it hasn't had much thought or care put into it, so I'm not really motivated to even try it out. Sorry. :-/

Perhaps one needs to go a level up: if making the program is now semi-trivial, it remains to be proven if using the program to actually perform is. If I have a Star Trek replicator that can reproduce a perfect Stradivarius for me, is it any less impressive when I play a beautiful song on it?

If we want to get excited about a mixing board... we probably need to see someone using it in ways that traditional mixers don't facilitate.

That's a little uncharitable. I get where it's coming from, because I also still feel a tinge of (hypocritical) disappointment when I realize things are built with LLMs, but I truly think we need to start moving past this. It's not a giant corporation trying to scam you out of your hard earned money by passing slop off as a lovingly crafted product: it's somebody's pet project, somebody who clearly had a fun "what if" idea and was able to materialize it over time, with a TBD amount of care/iteration/refinement. I think it's something worth engaging with. Worst case scenario it sucks, like many cheapo projects do -- best case scenario it's awesome and/or it sparks a new interesting idea in somebody else.

Does it do what it says on the tin? If so, does it matter that it's made with an LLM?

In my own experience, LLMs+TUIs are surprisingly effective. They deal with the tedium of ncurses development much more than I can. It took an LLM about an hour to put a TUI over recutils so that I can monitor task progress. I doubt I could have done the same that shortly. My point is, 'that it works' is much more important to me than how it works.

You’re going to be disappointed to see a continuous deluge of even more slop on Show HN.
