Machete

Machete is a music player built with Electron and Vue.js. It's inspired by Tomahawk, and implements an extensible service module for scraping and playing music from several data sources.

Packages

1. machete-app

   This is the front-end of the application, built with Electron/Vue.js.

2. machete-core

   This manages music playback, service registration, and event handling. It is service-agnostic, so individual service objects must be provided during initialization. When a service is registered, it is provided an injectable object that contains utilities for fetching web pages with needle and cheerio. This means that services can remain very lightweight and avoid having dependencies of their own.

3. machete-core-youtube

   A service for playing music from YouTube via the IFrame API.

4. machete-proxy

   This is a simple Node.js server for getting around CORS restrictions. It's deployed to Heroku, and used for proxying requests when scraping web pages.
