As one of my stardance projects, I am building Sonora Music, a macOS native music player. As such, I think this project deserves it's own website, so I am building my own.

Made a few tweaks behind the scenes, it is now a bit faster and also I rewrote the ReadME (wrote with AI first but changed it to be fully wrote by me!) I also had an issue with the footer occasionally just not showing so I fixed that!

Sonora Music - Website
I created a website for Sonora Music, a macOS Native music player. The website has a download archive to download older releases, as well as the current version. The main page has information on system requirements, why you should choose to use Sonora Music, and a few FAQs. There is also a footer at the bottom with links to things like github, my business email too so people can contact me. I’m most proud of the cool aurora in the background. I made a few tweaks to the element, as I initially got it from ReactBits. I’m also proud of the card styling and the animations of the cards when you scroll. The most challenging part by far was setting up the aurora. It constantly had issues at the start like being only white, being in front of everything, and having unwanted colors. To test out the project, just click the try project button. There’s no other steps!

I added a nice footer to the website. It has links to the github repository, my Email, and the website links

So I decided to build a download archive for the website. The main reason was because if something in the app breaks for them, they can see if it is their computer, or my application. It also uses an array to organise the releases from most recent to oldest.

I decided to add system requirements to the application to future-proof it. I also added a small FAQ section with generic Lucide Svelte logos as placeholders; when I find better-suited ones, I will replace them. For now, the website is almost ready to be deployed on my domain. I just need to add an actual download hook for the button and make a page for legacy versions (e.g., I upload version 1.2, but someone else still requires 1.1 due to issues on their end.)

I added 3 animated cards that fly in when you scroll down. I also added a download button, for macOS - Apple Silicon. If possible in future I’ll adapt Sonora to work with MacOS x64 and possibly windows with an alternate audio framework.

I built the main website section. I added the title and some text, and a placeholder download button. I also used the Soft Aurora BG EFX by ReactBits to make the cool bg you see and I just set the blur to 75px so that it isn’t as distracting.
