Hey there, Would you be interested in collaborating on a music project. I'm working on a selfhosted music streaming server called mStream that allows you to stream music from a home computer to any device. I began writing it several years ago when I couldn't find a good solution for FLAC streaming. The main thing I'm missing is an iOS app. Let me know if you're interested. The project: https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream
In Show HN: Decoupled – A lightweight music player for iOS
I'm an developer who's been using electron since it came out. At it's core electron is just a packaged NodeJS instance with a layer to access the OS API. The chrome as a GUI part does not have to be used. This makes electron a great way to distribute NodeJS apps. Instead of getting your users to install NodeJS and use the command line, you can give them an electron version of the app that works out of the box. If you stick to using the GUI part minimally, it's easy to build very light weight applications with electron. I've been building my own music streaming server with electron and its gotten some traction since it's easier to install. The GUI layer is only used for editing config options, so the app typically runs with under 50mb of memory consumption: https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream/releases If used smartly, electron

MStream Express - A Music Streaming Server Built With Electron

I know Electron gets some hate, but I wanted to show you can build interesting thigns with the framework. mStream Express is an entire music streaming server built with Electron. mStream Express has all the features you'd expect of a music streaming server, including GUI management tools so you don't need a command line to set it up. mStream Express also runs light. A lot of Electron apps get hate for being bloated, but this runs under 50mb of memory on my system. https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream

Ask HN: AWS S3 media player?

A few years ago I put my music collection up on the "cloud". S3 to be exact for safety. I also grew up in an era where I collected CDs and then MP3's etc so I'm still confused by all these music services. With that said, I started working in a office as opposed to remote. Although I like NPR, I do need a break every once in a while. Pandora and Spotify are blocked here. I did run across this player the other day https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream which I thought was pretty neat, until I figured out only runs on the local machine. So I was wonder if anybody knew a simple S3 no frills music player? With out encoding, or flash players etc... If not, I'm thinking I can make my make a quick web page that references the S3 bucket that spits out random mp3s from my library behind htaccess wall for myself. (This would only be for personal u
