Cans

This is a complete rewrite of rembo10/headphones, a music library management server, originally written in Python. This time the language is golang. This project is in it's infancy, so there's still a lot to do... If you are interested in contributing, check out the issue tracker and file a bug, submit a pull request, or just star the project to increase it's visibility. Thanks for taking a look!

Objectives

The initial goals of this rewrite are (beyond a skeleton set of Headphones' features):

1. First and foremost: a faster, more responsive app
2. Lower resource usage and fewer external deps so we can support resource-constrained devices
3. Angular / Bootstrap UI so we can do more stuff client-side to make the app more responsive and work on a wider variety of devices and viewports.
4. Better search
5. Better data model that supports EPs, singles and other release types.

NOTE: Usenet support is not currently a priority

The long-term goals are to implement the full original feature set, and expand it with:

1. Online DRM-free music stores (Bandcamp, etc.)
2. Support multiple database backends (Musicbrainz, Discogs, ???)
3. ???
