Elisa is a simple music player aiming to provide a nice experience for its users.
 
== Goals ==
 
* being very easy to setup (ideally, the user would not setup anything before being able to use it) ;
* being fully usable offline (or in privacy mode) ;
* being open to leverage online services but not a development priority (the experience should not be degraded when you are offline) ;
* being usable in Plasma Workspace (MPRIS2, Baloo, ...) but also on other environments (Windows, Android, ...) ;
* being intuitive to use (I definitely need help here) ;
* being focused on music player (managing your music collection is not a development priority). This means that my project is not a direct fulfillment for people needing that ;
* being as much as possible bug free (meaning stability has higher priority than feature development) ;
* targets Linux Plasma Workspace, other Linux desktop environments, Android and Windows ;
* being able to leverage UPnP ContentDirectory and MediaRenderer in an easy and intuitive way.
 
== Design Open Questions ==
 
The design of Elisa currently leaves open questions about the direction. At least the following points need an identified solution that could be implemented:
 
* Implement User Centered Design to help guide the development ;
* trying to combine an interface to be used with the mouse and with the touchscreen commonly found on laptops ;
* how to decide what is done by single click, double click or single long click.
 
== Current Interface ==
 
The following snapshots show the current interface. They are only indicative and everything is open for improvements.
