This is an early but functional release. Feedback, issues, and contributions are very welcome — especially around performance, UX, and playlist handling.

everything is in Portuguese (the GitHub, the website, the screenshots).
Is it also localized to other languages? English is probably a good start, if you haven't done that.

Agreed. Worldwide, few people speak Portuguese. This would have better uptake if you have Cursor (or your favorite AI tool) translate the UI and doc.
Lua, famously developed by Portuguese-speaking folks (in Brazil) is entirely in English.

> Worldwide, few people speak Portuguese.
Just to be clear: Portuguese is the 8th most widely spoken language in the world, with ~267 million people speaking it.
Right but very few software products can target just that population. It's certainly a great additional language but it can't be primary, methinks. Good stats on the speaker base!
