Made a Lightweight Web Based Music Player

So I spent some time making this music player, it was a learning curve and has some snippets just copy pasted from api docs and random forums. There are a lot to change and work on, but it's working for now so i decided to release it. UI inspiration was taken from Spotify and Cinny.
youtube music is soo heavy I can't even run it properly, so i decided to make a client that can run with as less resource consumption as possible, which can run easily on older machines with limited ram.

Getting the YouTube iframe api was really hard, since it was my first time working with it.. so i used the offical api and docs for now, it's not the lightest but good enough for now, I'll optimize it more later.

Re: Made a Lightweight Web Based Music Player

This is very cool ! Idea: extract let's say 5/10 frames from video and use it as a little slideshow instead of the fixed image, shouldn't use much more ressources. Another idea : webassembly maybe ? (don't know if it's feasible/interesting)

Good idea and work by the way for those who can't run youtube music properly ^^
