Free CDG & video player preview

I'm making a Windows CDG and video player app and it's far along enough that I thought it was worth sharing a preview. In a few weeks I will do a more formal "PLEASE LOOK AT ME" post with Virus-Total info and download links and all that jazz.

The design goal was to make something similar to good old Karafun v2, but I wanted better visualizers and improved UX for things like large library support and queue management.

**Everything you see labeled here works now.** There are more things I want to do before I release this, but it's already displaced Karafun v2 in my house.

In a future version I plan to add an online songbook request system, so there will be a KJ inbox tab from which you can queue songs. I already have that working as a totally separate project and I think the combined product will be pretty neat.

I'm also doing what I can to support multiple venues and other things that may be of interest to pro KJs... You may have seen some of my KJ questions here. If just a couple of people find this thing useful, well, cool. I've benefited a lot from free software so it will be nice to pay it back, even a little.

(This app *will* be free, but once I get the online request features done in some future release, you will need to have a Google account so you can use the free tier of Firebase, upon which it relies. You'd also benefit from having a domain name and a free Cloudflare account.)

I'll share more news when I have it.

If you have any thoughts from the screen shots, please share!

    The future features like an online song request system and support for multiple venues will make it even more versatile, especially for professional KJs. Integrating a KJ inbox tab for song requests is a smart move, and it’s impressive that you’ve already got that working as a separate project.
