Streamus is a Google Chrome extension that turns YouTube into a music player. This repository contains the marketing website for that extension, the place where people can download it, read a short guide on how it works, learn about the project's history, and optionally donate to support the developer. It's essentially the public face of the tool, separate from the Chrome Web Store listing. The website itself is built using a handful of standard web development tools. Bootstrap handles the layout and styling so the site looks good on different screen sizes. Backbone helps organize the JavaScript code that makes the page interactive. RequireJS keeps that code structured in a modular way. A build tool called Grunt bundles everything together into a clean, deployment-ready version of the site, so the developer can upload it without manually stitching files together. A few third-party services are plugged in as well. Coinbase powers a Bitcoin donation option for supporters. jQuery.unveil handles lazy-loading of images, meaning pictures only load when you scroll to them, which keeps the page fast. Zopim adds a live chat widget so visitors can message the team directly from the site. The people who would interact with this site are potential Streamus users, someone who hears about the extension and wants to check it out before installing, or an existing user looking for help or a way to contribute financially. The README doesn't go into detail about what Streamus itself does beyond calling it a YouTube video player, but the site's purpose is straightforward: inform visitors and give them a path to download or support the project. The project was originally built by a developer listed as MeoMix, and the code is available under the Apache 2.0 license, meaning others can freely use and modify it.
