Colophon
Lamixtape is a custom WordPress website curating handpicked music playlists that celebrate musical diversity.
This project is a personal attempt to resist the enshitification of the web — by keeping things open, human-curated, and free from algorithmic noise.
Core Technologies
- WordPress CMS serves as the content management backbone, extended with custom fields via Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
- Bootstrap 4.4.1 provides the responsive grid and component framework for layout and UI structure.
- MediaElement.js (v4.2.16) powers the cross-browser HTML5 audio player with custom controls and styling.
- The site uses the YouTube Iframe API to embed and control YouTube videos within the custom audio player, enabling seamless playback, progress tracking, and interface synchronization.
Typography
The site uses Futura as its primary typeface, with a fallback on Google Fonts’ Outfit for enhanced compatibility across platforms.
Color Palette
The color palette is based on Flat UI Palette v1 from flatuicolors.com, chosen for its bold yet minimal aesthetic.
Analytics
Umami Analytics is used to track page views. It is fully privacy-compliant and does not rely on third-party tracking services.
Music Content
This site does not host or store any audio files. All tracks are embedded via the official YouTube API.
If you enjoy the music, please support the artists by buying their records, digital releases, merch, or by going to their shows.
Licensing
All custom code is published under the GNU General Public License v2 or later, and third-party libraries are used under their respective open source licenses.
