Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6fPP5
When COVID-19 started I needed something to get busy to not go crazy. I happened to work on our app WCAG compliance for a few months at the time and was frustrated by the state of of accessibility-related tools for developers.
I've spend two months delivering a tool that is easy to understand and helps catching accessibility issues on my apps. A few years later it's pretty popular despite being mostly abandoned.
I will be happy to work on this further but honestly lost my enthusiasm some time ago. I'd love to get in touch with some company in the accessibility testing space and discuss how to improve it.

Show HN: kew – A Terminal Music Player for Linux (❄️ Score: 150+ in 3 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6fGfv
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6fGfv
Hi HN,
I created kew, a music player for the Linux terminal.
This started when I asked myself: what if I could just type something like "play nirvana" in the terminal and have the rest taken care of automatically? That got the ball rolling and I kept adding stuff: covers in ascii and then as sixel images, a playlist view, a visualizer, a library view and finally search.
While kew can be used as a commandline tool, it has evolved into a TUI app.
Here are some example commands:
kew nirvana # Plays all of your Nirvana songs, shuffled
kew nevermind # Plays the "Nevermind" album in order
kew spirit # Plays "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
kew all # Plays all your music, shuffled
kew albums # Plays one album after the other in random order
It works best when your music library is organized like this:
Artist/Album(s)/Track(s)
kew is written in C and licensed under GPLv2.
