Alright, I'm going to throw this out here as the base for the app frontend. I've already shared some screenshots, now it's time to let you and others also play around, leave feedback, add issues for missing features, etc. etc.

Currently features the following:

• Show list of all music, with the BPM and artist clearly in sight
• Use the "re-index" button on the bottom right, enter a path, and the server will start reindexing
• Click on an item in the list
  • Play button allows for immediate playback
  • Adjust the BPM directly

@DeviaVir this is looking awesome. I'm not super familiar with the Grunt/Bower workflow, what steps should I run to get the app up and running.

I think it would be smart to add any dependencies: grunt-cli, bower, to the project, and to allow them to be executed through the bin.

I think it would be great if we could keep it so the user can still simply install the module, and start the server -- perhaps we could use a prestart hook in the package.json to run all the necessary build steps, e.g., bower grunt.

Nice work, @DeviaVir! Can you update instructions in the README?

[DeviaVir]

@zeke Actually, I did already, check the changes! ;)

@bcoe this is my goal as well, but here's where I am less certain of how to accomplish this, hence the PR so we can start making it one asap

[DeviaVir]

Updated the package.json so that npm start starts both now!

Small update to the "info page", when clicking an item. Preview below.

@DeviaVir this is looking great!

A couple technical comments, to get it working on my computer:

• I had to install the missing dependency connect-redirection, npm install connect-redirection --save.
• I had to disable source-maps, or grunt was throwing an error: OptionParser::InvalidOption: invalid option: --sourcemap.

Once I did this everything worked great with npm start. I'm really digging the initial design, and will have some comments shortly :+1:

[DeviaVir]

I pushed the fixes you had to apply to make it work. You want to go ahead and merge? I think it would give us more of an overview if you would add your comments in separate issues, and we would throw in different PR's per issue. But that's my 2 cents :)

[DeviaVir]

Ah, probably this error: OptionParser::InvalidOption: invalid option: --sourcemap showed up, because you have an old version of sass. We can probably use sourcemap again, if you update the ruby gem. But I disabled it for now, so there's no hurry to.

Cool., that explains my problem. I'm going to merge what we have so far, so that we have a foundation and can move forward with smaller bits of functionality. Here's a thought I have:

I think it would be cool if we performed the sass and bower installation steps as an occasional operation which we check-in. That way someone could install redord-crate via npm install, without having to worry about dev-dependencies.
