DashPlayer

Project Overview

DashPlayer is a video player built specifically for English learning. The author learned English by watching large amounts of native-speaker videos. After watching thousands of hours through it, the author's English has become fluent enough to learn various subjects in English. To benefit more friends who want to improve their English, the author decided to open-source this player.
