Description

This is a small audio player project I did originally as a code challenge for Brain.fm.

How to Use

Goal of the project was to create a simple audio player. The app presents you with 3 mental states.

  1. Choose a mental state and click on it.
  2. The audio player will show and start playing automatically.
  3. Skip forward and back through tracks (3 tracks for each mental state).
  4. Skip forward or backwards 15 seconds.

Audio files

Audio files are completely in memory on the backend. No database was created for this mini project.

How to install

Back-end

  1. Clone down the back-end repo.
  2. Navigate to the back-end repo's location on your machine.
  3. Run rails s command from command line.
  4. The server will run on http://localhost:3000. If it doesn't due to your personal rails settings, you'll need to change the base url for the request in the front-end app.
  5. Back-end needs to be running in order for the front-end app to successfully work.
