Project Lyrics - Building an Interactive Lyrics Player
A small dev log on building Project Lyrics, an interactive music player experiment using vanilla web technologies.
Project Lyrics is a creative web project that lets users enjoy an immersive music listening experience right inside the browser. Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it showcases interactive design and dynamic content - making even simple song playback feel more engaging.
This project demonstrates how modern web technologies can come together to create a fun and visually appealing interface for something as universal as music.
Features
- Play Icon Start: Clicking the play icon launches the song and smoothly scrolls to the main lyrics view.
- Lyric Animation: The song lyrics are displayed with animation while the track plays.
- Music Controls: Users can pause, resume, go to next or previous song, and watch the progress bar update in real time.
Why I Built It
I wanted to explore how dynamic user interfaces could enhance simple interactions like playing music. With Project Lyrics, I experimented with scroll-based navigation and animated content synced with audio elements - all without heavy frameworks.
Tech Stack
- HTML5 for structure
- CSS3 for styling and responsive layout
- Vanilla JavaScript for logic and interactivity
The codebase is clean and beginner-friendly, making it a great example for anyone starting with interactive web apps.
