A music player made with the web platform

💎 Amethyst

Amethyst is an Electron-based audio player with a node-based audio routing system, the main goal of this project is to make a music player in Typescript to see how far we can stretch language today to prove it's possible to provide pro-level features as most DAWs / DAEs, while also providing useful tools and customizability to the end-user to deal with audio.

⚠️ This is an unfinished application

Please do not write reviews yet as I have not finished implementing everything required for me to call this app "complete", things may suddenly change and the current state of the repository might not represent the complete version faithfully
