    OP, don’t listen to these trolls. Every dev starts small and keeps growing as long as they keep practicing. Constructive criticism is good, bashing someone who just did this for fun on the premise of hurr durr 200 lines is not a good way to encourage new FOSS devs. I remember when I was happy my code executed well with only 15 lines of code, and now codebases of thousand of lines a file is routine. Good luck to you and everyone trying their best to learn and improve.

    I don’t want to bash on what you’ve created but the entire project is not even 200 lines. All you’ve done here is tie together some libs that do it all for you. Seems werid to self advertise something this low effort…

      “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

      If they’re just starting this might be their moment to show off something they’re picking up as they go - don’t shit on that. And advertise? It’s a free/open code. It’s a show and tell, let them be proud. Maybe in a few year’s they’ll build the next open source, federated Spotify competitor. For now, let them bask in the glory of making something fun.

        I agree with you, though it’s funny that VLC already supports playing folders 😆

        If you have any familiarity with Python at all this is like a couple hour adventure. Seeing as they created the repo as of 7 hours ago and the commit being the entire, finished python script is also 7 hours old it’s safe to assume it didn’t take the author very long to create.

      My take is that not everyone can do it. It is created and can be used too meet a need.
