Development

Run with hot reload enabled:

npm install
npm run dev

Contributions and ideas are welcome.

Pending technical improvements:

  • Rewrite and clean the frontend. Using a framework might be a good idea.
  • Improve storage and queue-subscription management. Make it more resistant to concurrency. Also, manage the Queue schema versioning somehow; al least fail-fast when the store has old schemas.
  • Better logging and error handling (both back and front).

Features I have in mind:

  • Support syncing time changes and/or pauses in current video (right now, the server dictates the pace for everyone and can't be modified)
  • Queue permissions (listen-only vs edit)
  • Show active/recent queues in home page
  • Support custom names for queues
  • "Circular" queues?
  • Recommend videos for queue?
  • Static infinite queues to join quickly (e.g. 'Rock playlist')
