SAF
Overview
The Sonorous Archive Foundation is a fullstack web app for audio/music exploration and cultural knowledge sharing.
SAF is composed of two parts: SAF-django and USB that can be used on their own or as connected layers.
SAF-django
Backend / API for cultural metadata management and operations.
Designed for music and audio exploration.
USB
Universal Stream Backpacker, Vue3.js frontend for dynamic interactions and advanced use.
- Extends usage to videos (VOD) and video streams.
- Can be used on its own but benefits highly from SAF API for user data saving and access to data about cultural items.
