Second blog on my ten year #SailfishOS journey so far

This second part goes into #apps, and what Sailfish OS looks like in practice for myself. Did I miss an app? What's your favourite Sailfish OS app?

One of my favorite gtk-based audio players for linux Deadbeef recently included mpris support, finally.

@alexskunz Yeah, #deadbeef is almost there. It's simple, very usefull, it responds quickly to navigation and keyboard commands, can handle very large playlists, supports variety of formats, has a lot of features that look like inspired by #foobar2000. I've got it installed, I'm using it for some tasks.
Unfortunatelly it's playlist view is a custom control and there is no accessibility support for that control. So when using arrow keys to change selection I don't know which item is being selected and what's the text of that item.

I've replaced #foobar2000 since I can't get it to work on #wine. So I've essentially built a working terminal system using #Zellij, cava, and cmus.

I was using #DeaDBeeF for a little bit but I am not good with Playlist Managers. I much preferred the CUI interface that's an additional component for foobar2000.

cmus is doing a good job until a *real* alternative to foobar2000 comes out. #music #cli #linux

I knew about `0xDEADBEEF` but I just found out about all these other โ€œmagicโ€ debug valuesโ€ฆ the iOS ones are particularly funny

@revengeday @kyberklang First time I read about this project. Looks amazing. Never thougt something could replace #DeaDBeeF ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Follow-up: I also tried #foobar2000 to see if it was any better than #deadbeef - but found you can't bind spacebar to play/pause. That's just crazy. Sticking with Deadbeef.
