This is a really cool concept, @DonnieFontaine! With the revitalized effort to implement the new AURA protocol for beets:

> Hello everyone, I’ve been working on a beets plugin that implements an [AURA](https://auraspec.readthedocs.io) server, and you can now take a look and try it out! The new code is currently in the aura branch: see [the plugin file](https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/aura/beetsplug/aura.py) and [the documentation](https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/aura/docs/plugins/aura.rst) (particularly have a read of the “Issues” section). This is the first time I’ve done anything serious with classes and inheritance, so I’m not sure how it’s turned out. Also, I haven’t yet written any tests, but I plan to (though it may take me a while). I encourage anyone interes…

It seems like a great time to be building new web-based frontends. The nice thing about the new plugin is that it doesn’t bake in any particular client—so it should be conceptually easy to provide new ones like this separately. Maybe it’s worth looking into making this the first web-based AURA client?
