A developers job is never done, just making progress
I just managed to get the Car Thing to talk with an LLM - it's pretty neat

Local audio is hard…

With the help of @joeyeamigh.com - we now have a new app called Local Audio which updates live to music state changes on Windows, Mac (theoretically) and Linux!

deskthing.app/support if you want to test it out before the public release (you’ll also have to join the discord)

Workin on the new client. A big focus for this one is customization.

Customizable button locations
Customizable colors
Custom MiniPlayer height
Custom fonts
Custom icons

You get the idea. Hopefully this will help you make DeskThing an extension of your setup - not just something on top

v0.9.0 just dropped and I'm genuinely so glad this nightmare has a good ending XDD

8 hours of nonstop debugging and banging your head against a wall has an effect on you - but it's just a daily experience as a developer
