An Electron-based, multiplatform music player app that streams from multiple sources
nuclear is a free music streaming program that pulls content from free sources all over the internet.
If you know mps-youtube, this is a similar music player but with a GUI. It's also focusing more on audio. Imagine Spotify which you don't have to pay for and with a bigger library.
The current version is a pre-alpha early access. Some of it is usable, some of it isn't. If there are things that don't work as expected or are counterintuitive, please open an issue so I can prioritize working on them.
This version of Nuclear has been rewritten from scratch and released in version 0.4.0. The code is completely new, much more maintainable and extensible.

This will be updated as the program evolves.
To develop the project locally, you should only do:
npm install
npm run watch
This launches webpack. It watches local files for changes and rebuilds the project as needed. The project also has hot reload built in. And in another terminal window:
npm run electron
This launches a development version of the program. Tmux is very useful here so you can keep an eye on all running processes.
If you're getting a message about dbus being compiled with a different version of node when running the electron script, try the following:
npm install electron-rebuild
.node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
And run the script again.
