ross_visualizer 0.1.0 (alpha)

First alpha of the Linux desktop app, for friends to try.

Added

• Desktop app for Linux: listens to everything the computer plays, with no audio source to pick and no login.
• Follows whichever MPRIS player is playing (Spotify, a browser…) for the artwork and the play and next buttons.
• Every scene from the web in full screen.
• Click-through overlay above every window, in seven styles with their own settings: Halo, Horizon, Orbit, Curtain, Embers, rOS rain and Wave.
• Commands for key bindings: ross-visualizer overlay toggle|off|next|prev|<style>.
• Packages: pacman repository, APT repository, DNF repository and AppImage.
• Compatibility check that says what will work on your system before you install anything.

Known limits

• x86_64 only.
• Needs PipeWire; PulseAudio alone isn't enough.
• The overlay needs Wayland with layer-shell (KDE, Hyprland, Sway, niri…). On GNOME or X11 you get the full-screen app without the overlay.
