![]() ![]() Sure, psst has a CLI, but I only get panics. Sadly, these UI frameworks don't, or can't. The OS vendors spend a lot of time to make them usable and consistent. Because if they were, if they used native controls, the accessibility would be there. I'd almost go as far as to not call these UI's native. It doesn't guarantee accessibility, but the likelyhood is so, so, so much higher than any modern cross-platform UI framework. YouTube Music and Deezer had much better UI's from the get go.Īt this point, I'm almost happy to see an Electron app. I remember being very frustrated with the old UI's to the point where I chose another service just because it was more accessible, even if it didn't have a desktop app. ![]() Landmarks, clear labels, headings, and even aria-trickery to automatically announce things using my screen reader. The new Spotify UI released a few months ago is the most accessible Spotify has ever been. I just tried the GUI version of this client and was not surprised to find out that I could not use it. Something that Chromium apps do give you however, for free for the most part, is accessibility. Seems the larger the organization the more likely they are to build new Web rendered Desktop Apps and we have to rely on unauthorized Indie efforts like this for fast, responsive native UIs. It's unfortunate the skill and desire of building fast native UIs are being lost to Electron and CEF wrappers. I wish they maintained 2 desktop clients, and left their native client alone to just be an audio player and push all their new social features to their new flagship CEF app. I expect it fell to the pressures of a growing startup adding 100s of developers (without the skill of their original CTO/devs) where a native UI couldn't be updated and re-iterated as fast as a Web App. I was disappointed to see their native client eventually be abandoned and succumb to become yet another Chromium wrapper. Our QT/C++ client had decent performance but was noticeably heavier than Spotify's. Their traffic looked like it was initially seeded from their own (or CDN) servers (for best latency) and then overtime we would see some P2P traffic on the wire. It looked as though they had built their own custom UI renderer and optimized TCP protocol which sent back its metadata in XML. We we’re very surprised we couldn’t find any evidence of an established UI toolkit. We were building a Music Startup at the time, so we investigated how it worked. Everything was latency-free and instantaneous. I remember being perplexed at how I could search and skip to any part of a song quicker than iTunes could looking at a local library. The following is an example of git branch output with some demo branch names.What's funny about having to rely on unauthorized clones to provide a fast native UX was that Spotify's original client back in 2008 started out as beautifully light, custom rendered native client.įew Apps ever had that wow factor the first time I used it, it was so much lighter and more responsive than anything else of the day. Executing the git branch command will output a list of the local branch refs. The refs for local branches are stored in the. Git keeps remote and local branch commits distinctly separate through the use of branch refs. git/objects directory, Git stores all commits, local and remote. To better understand how git fetch works let us discuss how Git organizes and stores commits. If you have pending changes in progress this will cause conflicts and kick-off the merge conflict resolution flow. ![]() git pull is the more aggressive alternative it will download the remote content for the active local branch and immediately execute git merge to create a merge commit for the new remote content. It will download the remote content but not update your local repo's working state, leaving your current work intact. You can consider git fetch the 'safe' version of the two commands. When downloading content from a remote repo, git pull and git fetch commands are available to accomplish the task. This makes fetching a safe way to review commits before integrating them with your local repository. Fetched content has to be explicitly checked out using the git checkout command. Git isolates fetched content from existing local content it has absolutely no effect on your local development work. It’s similar to svn update in that it lets you see how the central history has progressed, but it doesn’t force you to actually merge the changes into your repository. Fetching is what you do when you want to see what everybody else has been working on. The git fetch command downloads commits, files, and refs from a remote repository into your local repo. ![]()
