Cumulus

A SoundCloud player that lives in your menubar.

Installing

Download the latest release for OSX.

IntelliJ users be warned: This app hijacks the ⌘+Alt+L shortcurt used by IntelliJ to reformat code. See #40 and #77.

Developing

Install dependencies

npm install

npm install -g electron

Compile the application

grunt or grunt build

You can also run grunt build-linux to compile the application for Linux, but there is a lot of chance that it doesn't work on your distro. (Known to work on Lubuntu 16.10, see notes below for more insight on how to integrate it)

Run the application with the Chrome DevTools

NODE_ENV=development electron .

Or in Windows:

PowerShell: $env:NODE_ENV="development"; electron .
CMD: set "NODE_ENV=development" & electron .

Notes for Lubuntu

After building the app, copy the build inside dist/ to $HOME/.local/lib/Cumulus. Open Cumulus.desktop inside your favorite editor and change the text to your username where <CHANGEME> is written. Save the modified file to $HOME/.local/share/applications/Cumulus.desktop. Last step, soft link $HOME/.local/lib/Cumulus/Cumulus to your $HOME/.local/bin folder.

You're done!

The .desktop file enables Cumulus to be seen inside app menus and launchers.

Here are the commands corresponding to the previous instructions:

mkdir -vp $HOME/.local/{bin,lib,share/applications}
cp -vr dist/Cumulus-linux-x64 $HOME/.local/lib/Cumulus
sed "s/<CHANGEME>/$USER/" Cumulus.desktop > $HOME/.local/share/applications/Cumulus.desktop
ln -vs $HOME/.local/{lib/Cumulus/Cumulus,bin/Cumulus}
