A few samples of what the UI looks like:

Later goals:

• Internationalize

Potential goals:

• Lyrics support
• support multiple server types (native Navidrome API, OpenSubsonic, Jellyfish etc)
• make it look OK in light mode?
• Chromecast support
• support the subsonic podcast features
• consider using fanart.tv
• support embedded image tags? https://github.com/neithern/g4music/blob/bf80b5cad448a57c635f01d0a315671fef045d14/src/gst/tag-parser.vala#L99

Non-goals:

• Video support
• Jukebox support

Possible ideas:

• Shared remote control, think something like Spotify Connect
• Chromecast support
• Player for local media, not just for a streaming server
