Jamp VS dstream

This kind of software made me a web developer and got me into real programming.

My first big project, like 20 years ago, was a streaming interface to my music collection at this point around 7k mp3s.

I had almost no programming knowledge. It took me like 12 month to the first working version (http auth, usermanagement, playlists) which I iterated at least 3 more times. I think this version [1] ran for me and my shared flat people for like 3 years. Used it daily to stream music while being in school and coded my tumbelog.

Later I proceeded to rewrite it in ruby [2]. Much less code. Same features. I think it had even the functionality to not download playlists and stream but also play the music locally on the server.

At some point my goal was a wrapper to play music depending on moods, previous played songs and stuff like that (that was way before spotify existed) but I never came far.

This is pretty awesome actually. I've been using it for the past few hours and changing it at will: https://github.com/sirodoht/dstream

Vanilla JS helps immensely to jump right into it actually.
