I tried to create a spotify client for the nintendo switch as my very first rust project. I initially wanted to use librespot as a backend. I gave up pretty quickly, things just went over my head and got too complex.

Congrats to Mogery for releasing this!

Thanks!

Yeah, Rust and the Switch don't mesh together very well, at least for now. I was tempted to take that route also, but I ended up reimplementing librespot in C instead, which serves as the backend for this.

Yep, the aarch64-nintendo-switch-freestanding target will (very likely) be available in Rust 1.64.0 [0].

Then all we need is someone to write a wgpu backend for NVN and we'll be cooking with gas :)
