Haify - A Spotify WebAPI client

Hello,

after I realized I couldn’t integrate librespot and the Spotify Web API into Beton (in any good way), I came up with this idea.

This is a little homage to my all-time favorite audio player. Basically, Spotify meets the year 2000.

It is a Spotify Web API client that lets you control any of the devices connected to your Spotify account and play music on Haiku using librespot as a playback target.

During development I relied heavily on Codex analytical capabilities and code completion features. A large portion of the code was generated as I was writing it, so this project is AI-generated. By the end, almost none of my original work had remained untouched. But i definitely had fun to design and develop it, and i learned a lot.

If you just want to control your local Spotify playback devices, you don’t need to start librespot. If you want to play Spotify music directly on Haiku, you’ll need librespot and a Spotify Premium account.

Currently, all you have to do is start Haify and sign in to Spotify. If you want to play music directly on Haiku, go to Settings and start librespot. You can also choose to have librespot start automatically with Haify.

After that, drop the Player and Artwork replicants onto your Desktop and enjoy your music!

Why this name?
Haiku + Spotify = Haify. Obviously. But if you speak it out, you could speak it as HiFi… You really shouldn’t let me name things!
