¿Qué es lowfi?
lowfi is a tiny Rust app that serves a single purpose: play lofi. Created by talwat, it does this as simply as it can - no albums, no ads, no distractions, just pure lofi music for coding and focus. It's designed with the "suckless" philosophy in mind, providing exactly what you need and nothing more.
