A simple Demus playlist viewer and converter to YouTube playlist
Ship #1
Changes requested
I made a website that converts a [Demus](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/demus-easy-music-streaming/id6474685600) .playlist file into YouTube links/playlists. It works completely in the browser with a simple React/Tailwind UI. I am guessing nobody knows what Demus is or uses it, so I have an example .playlist file here that you can download to test the website: https://github.com/HydrogenMacro/demus-converter/blob/main/assets/Creo%20Discography.playlist

I worked on finishing the project with everything that I needed. I added a section that just lists the links as well as a section for external programs that use the list of links. There was also some stuff I did outside VSCode that weren’t tracked, like making the Dockerfile (I did that on my server initially) as well as the script linked in the Additional Resources. I have used this project for converting my playlist from Demus to my own self hosted solutions, so I’d say it’s in a completely finished and usable state.

I grinded out the website from a React Vite template with Tailwind. The logic didn’t take too much to be implemented; the only library I used in that regard was something that can decode xz files. There honestly isn’t too much else to say other than how I absolutely utterly despise web development. Like, who thought it would be a good idea to force everything with flexboxes to break unless you added min-width: 0; to every god forsaken thing, and the entire working group who thought CORS would be even remotely close to being a good idea should be hanged, drawn, and quartered immediately. Anyways, this was more or less just a quick personal tool that has more than enough for what I need, so there isn’t too much that I’m going to be adding probably.
