## Why
|
|
|
|
I moved from Spotify over to Tidal and found Linux support to be lacking.
|
|
|
|
When I started this project there weren't any Linux apps that offered Tidal's "hifi" options nor any scripts to control it.
|
|
|
|
## Why not extend existing projects?
|
|
|
|
Whilst there are a handful of projects attempting to run Tidal on Electron they are all unappealing to me because of various reasons:
|
|
|
|
- Lack of a maintainers/developers. (no hotfixes, no issues being handled etc)
|
|
- Most are simple web wrappers, not my cup of tea.
|
|
- Some are DE oriented. I want this to work on WM's too.
|
|
- None have widevine working at the moment
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's just easier to start over, cover my own needs and then making it available to the public :)
