Goals

This project was made to satisfy my needs for a music player on Linux. I wasn't happy with the options I had, so I decided to make my own application.

This is also my second large scale application which I will showcase on my portfolio.

Technologies Used

• Electron - Chosen as the desktop application framework based on my experience with web technologies.

• React - This is my favorite JavaScript framework, it's the first I learned and I have the most experience with it.

• TypeScript

• RecoilJS - For non-local state shared across the application.

• SCSS - My CSS preprocessor of choice.

Design

I designed and built this app from scratch. No UI libraries were used.
