Project Lyricova (歌语计划)

Project Lyricova is a free and open source blogging tool focused on lyrics.

Project Lyricova is currently under the progress of a complete rewrite. The new program will consist of 2 parts: a jukebox + music library manager and a lyrics blog. The new tech stack is planned to be TypeScript + Node.js + MySQL + Express.js + React.

For the current version of Project Lyricova released in 2015, see the v1 branch.

Packages

• jukebox: Music library manager and public jukebox.
• lyricova: Lyrics blog (similar to version 1).
• common: Common code shared between jukebox and lyricova.
• lyrics-kit: Fetch and parse lyrics from various sources.
• react-balance-text-cj: Balance line breaks on web for Chinese and Japanese text.

The name

The name Lyricova is a made up word from “lyrics” and “nova” (taking the meaning of new), which signifies a new way to write blogs. This project was previously known as Project Gy which is taken from its name in Chinese, Ge-yu (歌语). 歌 means songs, and 语 means to talk, putting together, Ge-yu is making a sense of expressing oneself through songs and lyrics.
