| == Elisa ==
| | See https://apps.kde.org/elisa/ |
| | |
| Elisa is a simple music player aiming to provide a nice experience for its users.
| |
| | |
| == Goals ==
| |
| | |
| * being very easy to setup (ideally, the user would not setup anything before being able to use it) ;
| |
| * being fully usable offline (or in privacy mode) ;
| |
| * being open to leverage online services but not a development priority (the experience should not be degraded when you are offline) ;
| |
| * being usable in Plasma Workspace (MPRIS2, Baloo, ...) but also on other environments (Windows, Android, ...) ;
| |
| * being intuitive to use (I definitely need help here) ;
| |
| * being focused on music player (managing your music collection is not a development priority). This means that my project is not a direct fulfillment for people needing that ;
| |
| * being as much as possible bug free (meaning stability has higher priority than feature development) ;
| |
| * targets Linux Plasma Workspace, other Linux desktop environments, Android and Windows ;
| |
| * being able to leverage UPnP ContentDirectory and MediaRenderer in an easy and intuitive way.
| |
| | |
| == Design Open Questions ==
| |
| | |
| The design of Elisa currently leaves open questions about the direction. At least the following points need an identified solution that could be implemented:
| |
| | |
| * Implement User Centered Design to help guide the development (definition of persona, ...) ;
| |
| * trying to combine an interface to be used with the mouse and with the touchscreen commonly found on laptops ;
| |
| * how to decide what is done by single click, double click or single long click.
| |
| | |
| == Description of the Application Architecture ==
| |
| | |
| Currently music is retrieved from Baloo and put in an SQLite memory database. Live refresh from Baloo is not working.
| |
| | |
| The user interface is done in qml with Qt quick controls 1.
| |
| | |
| The UPnP support is probably broken right now.
| |
| | |
| == Current Interface ==
| |
| | |
| The following snapshots show the current interface. They are only indicative and everything is open for improvements.
