Design by Juxtopposed

The entire design of this app (the library, the player, the onboarding and the settings) comes from Juxtopposed, from the video "I Redesigned VLC After 25 Years". The design was shared publicly as a Figma community file. This app is a working version of that design.

Watch the video to see how the design came together. 🎨
