Desktop
MiniPlay
The web-based Google Play Music (update: now dead :( ) is was great, but I was forever having to find the right browser tab just to change or like a song. So I wrote this desktop widget to be able to control my music easily without needing to go to the browser. It has two parts:
- Chrome extension: Written in Javascript, this is what interfaces with the Google Play Music tab. Source on Github.
- App: This widget runs on the user’s desktop and is coded in Scala and uses ScalaFX for the UI, and embeds a mini Spring Boot server to handle the Websockets connection from the extension. Source on Github.
