SwiftFox Player

An audio player built with Javascript

As an educative project

About it

I was eager to learn more about Javascript, and I found myself starting this small project of a very simple audio player. After a short while, this need to learn more drove me to dig further and further, adding a bunch of features to the initial project.

It was the perfect project to try out new things, and it developed a variety of skills that I now use everyday.

How it went

Key steps

Phase 1 : Conceptualization of the audio player, prototypes, common setup of technologies.
Phase 2 : Development and design. (more like a sandbox at this point)
Phase 3 : Bug fix and production launch.

Challenges encountered

Learning new ways to manipulate data using Javascript classes.
Refactor of the simple initial project to a bigger scale architecture.

Results

Despite my lack of experience in the domain, I managed to build a functional application which can read audio files and dynamically displays feedback for the user.

I learned lots with this project, and am looking forward to develop new features in the future.
