DEV Community: m4iva (da crazy)

I got tired of bloated music apps, so I spent the last few months building an open, self-host, streaming music client for Android. Meet starl :3

Just wanted to share a project that i am really proud called starl. It’s an open-source streaming music client for Android designed to be clean, offline, no ads, simple and totally on your control.

#- Why I built it -#
Most of open-source alternatives to popular music apps were.. bloated, abandoned, buggy or just too visually complex and noisy. Sometimes when developers stopped updating, everything stops all together. So?

It's offline, works on background
It's super customizable
Respects privacy, nothing gets tracked
Can import content from other platforms
Has a public server, but also a self-host executable ready to connect.
No ads, you control your recommendations (you can even turn off, export or clear all statistics)
Create customizable mixes based on your queue or current music
Visually simple and cute
NoAiCode (The code is mine, the documentation is partially AI, no excuses.)

This uses my custom license called PFF (Pure Freedom Forever)
Just states the project is yours, is free forever. It's in the website in case you want to investigate.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or any bugs you run into! I'm actively working on it.

Too many .xml files to manage? Here is a simple and lightweight cli that solves that!

XMLM - XML Analysis Tool

A simple terminal tool that reads one or more XML files and processes them using natural language. Summarize, analyze, and compare XML files with ease.

In a nerdy way to say:

XMLM is a Node.js-based CLI tool that integrates Ollama (with local model files) to provide smart analysis of XML files. It can generate summaries of individual files or compare multiple files to identify differences and similarities. Can used for big ammounts of files or information.

Here is the github repo: everm4iva/xmlm-cli

Im working on make it general purpose, support more types of files like besides .xml

I needed to download a website, Ctrl+S sucked, so I built this

BAM! downsrc is here, a simple & customizable npm package that let's you download full websites or specific resources of it.
The strength of it: how visual and easy is to use.
The weakness: some websites can block the "fetcher" system, preventing download. - Working on it.

Github Repo
npm page

some examples of usage:

downsrc https://example.com
downsrc https://example.com --of "jpeg & svg"
downsrc https://example.com --as 5
