Contributing

• Run standard.js and ESLint on the code before committing js. package.json has an eslint config provided. There are good plugins for most editors that automatically run these tools for you.
• Feel free to ask questions by opening issues or writing to me on irc (Powersource on freenode) or twitter (@the_lolness).
• PRs welcome, but if you want to try something bigger please talk to me first so we're on the same page :)

Non-goals

Supporting other media types.

A music player/image viewer would require drastically different ui/ux. Videos are relatively bulky but simple and don't require as many features as e.g. music players do.

Breaking the law.

The repositories/documentation will never contain (directly, or indirectly through links) content that isn’t freely distributable in the west, and the developers don't condone using this software to break copyright law. Can't we just share funny cat videos (of our own cats) and get along?
