Great alternative to google or spotify, it takes music from youtube and let you listen without being tracked. It has a lot of bugs or bad UI but i'm sure opening issues in github isn't a problem
It is a very nice idea, but at its current state it is horribly slow, it takes forever to start playing when it plays at all.
I agree with the slowness, its 2025. I am on a M2 Max Apple Silicon Mac everything should be done in 1 - 3 seconds or less. At least should a progress bar show me that something is happening.
you gotta do "xattr -cr" in terminal on MacOS if you want to run the Application or it claims the program is "corrupt", it also takes over your whole MacOS to basically say all .mp4's need to be played with "nuclear" doesn't prompt me if I wanted to do that in the first place. I tried using it for 30 mins which is a good shot but its strangely slow so when I click play on a song I want to hear it takes 45 Sec to about 1 min and 30 secs before I can hear any audio and jumping around. I have no idea if can point it to play my local library of already downloaded music. This music player to me seems like someones personal project that needs more work and refinement I don't like it just going in and it setting itself as default for all media from music to videos.
Cool little app. Just what you'd think (and more)!
i̶t̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶e̶d̶. greedy corpos like alphabet destroy the internet. nuclear is not working anymore. tried several versions. time to ditch any american service really.
love the concept but would be nice if it worked. for instance, vimusic for android has the same logic and works flawlessly
Still in pre-release stage but has potential,
