  I built Waves because I wanted a music player that fits my workflow. I spend most of my day in the terminal, and switching to a GUI app to manage music always felt jarring. I also wanted something that respects my local library rather than pushing streaming services.

  What makes it different:

  - Full keyboard-driven navigation with vim-style bindings (hjkl, /, g/G)
  - SQLite FTS5 for instant full-text search across your library
  - Radio mode: when you run out of tracks, it uses Last.fm's similar artists API to find related music from your own library and keeps playing
  - Soulseek integration via slskd for downloading, with MusicBrainz tagging and file renaming
  - Mouse support for those who want it
  - State persistence: queue, navigation position, everything saved between sessions

  Tech stack: Go, Bubble Tea (TUI framework), Beep (audio), SQLite. Supports MP3 and FLAC.

  Install: `go install github.com/llehouerou/waves@latest` or `yay -S waves-bin` on Arch.

17:T4b0,Hi HN!

I originally built this app for myself because, as an intermediate Chinese learner, I wanted a clean EPUB reader with fast, offline pop-up dictionary support.

As a small thank-you to the Chinese learning community, I decided to make it a free and open-source iOS app.

Main features: - Import your own EPUBs

- Long-press any Chinese text to get an inline dictionary definition

- Option to copy the word, sentence, or paragraph, or send text to Pleco / ChatGPT (if installed)

- Everything works fully offline and the app collects no data

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether this kind of pop-up dictionary EPUB reading workflow is actually useful for people who read Chinese regularly, so any honest feedback (good or bad) would be sup
