shift.cx Lumify — self-hosted

Every song I own. Every film we watch. One player.

YouTube Music, SoundCloud and Spotify behind one search and one queue. It plays films too, in step, from two sofas. It runs on a machine in my flat.

Lumify's full player: the album cover on the left, the title, artist and album beside it, the waveform along the bottom, and a queue on the right offering a station built from the same artist. — The player itself. The room takes its colour from the record, the queue offers a station built out of what is playing, and the waveform along the bottom is the same instrument as the one above — it is drawn from the sound.

And I mark my own work.

Every part of it gets a letter, measured against the running thing rather than against how it felt to write. Two letters, in fact — one for how it feels to use and one for what is underneath. This is the first of those.
