MainTui::run only disabled mouse capture and called ratatui::restore() after the event loop exited normally; any error propagated by ? from draw/poll/read returned early and left the terminal in raw mode, on the alternate screen, with mouse capture still enabled. The loop body moved into a helper whose result is returned only after the terminal is unconditionally restored.
Soulseek-rs 🦀
⚠️WARNING THIS IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND NOT READY FOR USE ⚠️
Souleek-rs is an experimental Soulseek library and client built in Rust. It's under development and not yet ready for use. Soulseek is a closed-source P2P file-sharing network from the 2000s. It's still used by music enthusiasts around the world to share niche music.

Project Goals
This project is a learning exercise to explore Rust. I've been using Soulseek since the early 2000s, so it's close to my heart, and the Soulseek protocol is a closed-source network protocol that provides a great opportunity to learn about asynchronous and concurrent network programming and reverse engineering
It's not intended to be a production-ready client (yet).
Since it's a learning project, I have a self-imposed restriction not to use external dependencies in the library. This means I can't use any external crates that are not part of the Rust standard library. This is a good challenge to learn how to build complex systems with only the standard library.
In the client crate, external dependencies are allowed for building a rich experience. For me, this is a good balance between learning and practicality.
Planned Features

Project Structure
This project is organized as a Cargo workspace with two crates:
- soulseek-rs-lib - The core library implementing the Soulseek protocol
- soulseek-rs - A CLI client built on top of the library
This structure allows:
- Other developers to build custom Soulseek clients using
soulseek-rs-lib - Users to install the ready-made client via
cargo install soulseek-rs - Clean separation of concerns between protocol implementation and user interface
Installation
For Users
cargo install soulseek-rs
For Developers
Clone and build from source:
git clone git@github.com:michel/soulseek-rs.git
cd soulseek-rs
cargo build --release
The binary will be available at target/release/soulseek-rs.
For Library Users
To build your own Soulseek client, add to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
soulseek-rs-lib = "0.1.0"
Usage
./target/release/soulseek-rs "the weeknd Blinding Lights"
