I'm a DJ/TUI nerd and as much as I want to like this, I don't think the keyboard will ever be the right input or mode for DJing. Maybe my mental model is an outlier, but multi-point physical controls are critical for so much of what's happening while DJing — the master level controls, effects, cueing, individual track controls, and even just being able to physically manipulate playing tracks. It just doesn't map to a TUI, or perhaps more importantly, it just doesn't seem fun. How does the TUI transition this? What makes a TUI the right interface?

This has "I got doom to run on my smart fridge" vibes, which are pretty fun vibes tbh

Finally, I can ssh to the booth from a tablet and take a dump mid-party.

Honestly this seems like it would be a sick party trick. Combine with some strudel.cc and it could be pretty cool little setup.

I guess this is a boring and predictable thing to say, but I miss seeing a project like this and being excited about it. Instead I looked at the codebase, see that it seems LLM-generated and assume it hasn't had much thought or care put into it, so I'm not really motivated to even try it out. Sorry. :-/
I built something similar, but for the browser: https://dj.t-tunes.com/

Rekordbox/serato this is not.
