Fastpotify's Winamp mini player window behavior.
Technical Positioning
Seamless integration with Linux window managers (specifically Hyprland) for tiling functionality. The expectation is that the mini player should not exclusively be a floating window, but allow tiling.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue highlights a critical UX friction point for Fastpotify users on specific Linux window managers like Hyprland. The Winamp mini player's exclusive floating window behavior directly contradicts the tiling paradigm, disrupting user workflows and diminishing the 'native and fast' promise. For a lightweight application targeting power users, failing to integrate seamlessly with core desktop environments creates a perception of incomplete or unpolished functionality. This directly impacts user satisfaction and adoption within a segment that values precise window management. The market implication is that niche, performance-oriented applications must prioritize deep integration with diverse operating system environments, especially for features like mini-players, to maintain competitive advantage and user loyalty.

Need the logs to act on it.
I understand there's a most awful bug report, just maybe here to see if other people are experiencing it as well. Codex went through my logs and said there's nothing relevant in it.
You are not alone: I see it on Linux too, and I have not caught it in a log yet either, which is why 0.2.0 (out today) writes one by itself. When it next stops, before doing anything else, copy `~/...

Got the exact same behaviour on Fedora 44 Workstation (Gnome) with the FlatPark package.
Same issue on Fedora KDE, Flatpak 0.3.0. Dug into it with strace — might help narrow this down. The connect() to the PulseAudio socket actually **succeeds**: ``` connect(57, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun...

Released in 0.4.0-rc5 (https://github.com/crmne/fastpotify/releases/tag/v0.4.0-rc5): while playing on this computer, Fastpotify checks every couple of seconds which device the system calls its defa...
There are ways to receive callbacks for audio device changes on windows linux and mac, polling every 2 seconds is wasteful.
Fair enough. The poll costs next to nothing, but immediacy is a real feature, so I will look at the callbacks (IMMNotificationClient on Windows, a CoreAudio property listener on macOS) for a later ...

Thanks, that is a precise report. The docs and the Homebrew cask now say `xattr -dr`, which clears the flag from the files inside the bundle as well; that is what macOS 26 trips over. The real fix ...
Yes, a notarized release probably also avoids
`-r` doesn't work on macOS 27 beta: ``` % xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Fastpotify.app option -r not recognized ```

can't add label to the issue. it should be `enhancement`
Part of this exists since 0.2.0: at start the app asks GitHub for the latest release and, when it is newer than the one running, shows a notice with the version and a link to the release page. Pre-...
