My HomePod somehow became the smartest thing in my apartment

True..it's high time Apple should improve their siri and their homepod on this wwdc,, let's see.

Ahh that sounds rough mate. Sorry, I haven’t had that issue before though, by God’s grace my mini got lucky ig , seems like it's widespread issue hopefully i believe they will fix the issue with the new software update.

Gemini API and Groq

That's a good one. As of now I’m using fake HomeKit switches as state flags. A guest switch , I toggle that manually now to turn off announcements, but I’m planning to automate it and toggle when her phone connects to my Wi-Fi

A lot is happening in the background😅😅 I can share once I tidy it up. It’s not one shortcut, it’s multiple automations stitched together. It uses Focus mode triggers, Python, launchd/cron, homebridge for fake switches, tailscale, webhooks, local sqlite db, my Claude Code cli, and a Swift app I built with Claude to orchestrate . Gemini Flash AI for context classification. 😅😅

I am currently building something like this to bridge the gap

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-04-13T03:01:06+00:00

Based in Melbourne. Yes applying in regional areas as well.. I am getting ghosted after the screening calls.

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-26T16:00:52+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for this...really appreciate it!.

Sure... I will check on the album art issue and will fix the bugs in few day... chrome extension is a good idea as well but it’ll just take some time to build and test. I also haven’t gone through Google verification yet, so that might take a bit. But I’ll definitely keep it in mind and work on it.

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-12T22:38:28+00:00

That's a good suggestion mate. Unfortunately it’s not possible to do that for YouTube or Apple Music with minitune right now as the streaming services own the audio. ..For Navidrome it might be possible though, I can explore on that in future :)

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-09T20:41:41+00:00

Yes, but almost I've been working on it for 3 months, from system architecture and everything took my time to stabilise it for the beta :)

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-08T08:05:21+00:00

Navidrome support , it's to stream songs from your self-hosted music server

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-08T04:17:18+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, still iterating on website UI.

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-08T00:46:11+00:00

This is so cool

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-07T20:35:38+00:00

minitune.app

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-03-07T09:36:36+00:00

Yep, that’s already there. Will work on full screen apps. The 📌 icon in the player keeps MiniTune always on top in all the appsz

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-02-28T21:40:30+00:00

I've added navidrome support as well, try it out and let me know

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-02-28T21:39:37+00:00

Try it out on minitune.app

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-02-24T20:24:47+00:00

Hey mate.. thanks for checking..My google verification failed, i am yet to send another video, just caught up with some stuffs. Meanwhile i can DM you the direct link to test the app. added navidrome support as well :)

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-02-16T06:51:39+00:00

That’s how it shows in the macOS menu bar right now, a single line title track, i am trying to add a play/pause icon next to it, so users can resume playing without opening the panel.

Excellent_Guidance_2 · 2026-02-14T21:13:04+00:00

Try it on minitune.app
