Youtube Music Client for Android, iOS and Web

YouTune

A Youtube Music client for Android, iOS and Web built with React Native that allows you to listen to music from Youtube. (WIP)

Motivation

This project came about in order to satiate my interests in PWAs and Cross-Platform apps. I also don't like how every serious service that serves music online requires an account in order to get an individual experience. Youtune is a sandbox for me to gather experience in these topics.

Progress

I'm currently focused on getting Youtune to work reliably for web. Expect the app for other platforms not to work.
Notable features are:

• Display search results/artist pages/album pages/Lyrics
• Music playback with Media Session API
• Swiping gestures to open/close playback screen and skip songs
• Parallel downloads
• Cache first
• Color based on album cover
• Audio visualizer
• Chromecast support

Current goals

After implementing a lot of features simply working with vanilla Javascript became very restricting. I want to move the entire project to Typescript to make the code easier to work with and the behavior of future additions more predictable.
