The nuclear from chaines

An Electron-based, multiplatform music player app that streams from multiple sources

What is this?

nuclear is a free music streaming program that pulls content from free sources all over the internet.

If you know mps-youtube, this is a similar music player but with a GUI. It's also focusing more on audio. Imagine Spotify which you don't have to pay for and with a bigger library.

IMPORTANT: This is a pre-alpha project. Things are broken, and will remain broken for at least some time, until I implement the core features and have more time for bug fixing. You can use the existing releases at the risk of being disappointed, or clone the repo and run the dev version (just clone the repo, then run npm install and npm run dev in the directory you cloned it to). If you want to be notified when I release a not-so-broken version, check the official website and sign up to the mailing list (it will only ever be used to notify about major releases).
