# Lyssa
## Overview
Lyssa is a native music player designed to be an aestethic addition for every desktop.
The player is as easy and [suckless](https://suckless.org/philosophy) as possible to use and to work with. The application frontend
is made to be modern and aestethic. The goal of this project is to make listening to
music amazing, visually and audibly.
Lyssa has the capability to easily download music from
various streaming services. Under the hood, yt-dlp
is used to download the music files.
The Lyssa application is written in C++ 17. It uses the [Leif Library](https://github.com/cococry/leif), a GUI Library that i've
written in C, for the entire User Interface of the Application. For windowing, the [GLFW Library](https://github.com/glfw/glfw) is used. Additionally, Lyssa depends on [taglib](https://github.com/taglib/taglib) for handling
ID3 Tags for Music Files. For Audio, Lyssa uses the [miniaudio.h library](https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio).
