Hey,

I would love to start contributing on the music app too!

But i'm just wondering, before diving into actually coding, don't you want
to design the UI and get an idea from the community if it follows the
guidelines or not? Yes we could all download the code and try running it
ourselves to see the UI but i'm just wondering because its going to be
easier to put pictures of the app design :)
