One of the biggest complaints I have received over time is the hassle that is having to run a Java application in the background for this app to work. It's clunky, it's needlessly complicated, and it's annoying to have an extra terminal open at all times.

There were two reasons for this decision:

1. I programmed it like this because, from the start, I planned to have the server side do all the annoying data hassling with Spotify's API, while the frontend side should only receive ready-to-display data. The browser is already having enough to deal with by rendering everything anyway.
2. Without a server, remote control would be impossible. Since I use the app on a hard-to-access Raspberry Pi connected to a TV, I want to deal with it as little as possible. But I also know that many people just want to use it on their desktops and don't care for any remote-controlling options.

But as it stands, setting up the app is still a major pain in the ass for most users, and it's practically impossible to use on a mobile phone without a private webserver to host the app on.

What is your stance on this? Would you like to see a browser-side-only, Java-less rewrite? Or do you prefer to keep it the way it is?
