adding a command line flag to launch grrs purely in the background without the tui would allow users to just run it and control it via mpris without needing any windows open. then perhaps the user can just open grrs as needed and connect to the same socket in order to like songs as needed. additionally, in this case, it would be wise to add a configuration option perhaps to allow the user to switch to a daemon mode. in the daemon mode, the user could quit out of grrs normally with the q/^c and keep it in the background. daemon mode could introduce a keybind specifically meant for shutting down/quitting daemon mode
