Ranked Records v2 Release
Welcome to Ranked Records v2!
It's been a long time coming. The original v1 site went down when Heroku stopped its free tier, and now Ranked Records is finally back and better than before. I've rewritten and rehosted the project, which is now hosted with Render and is available at https://ranked-records.onrender.com/.
**✨ Some snazzy new features: **
- Multiple artists are now supported!
- The app now uses Spotify's artist recommendations to recommend artists when you search.
- The usual playlist creation with filters
**📦 Some retired features from v1: **
- The app can no longer be used without logging in to Spotify - originally I supported viewing a list without playlist creation but the complicated the flow and it turned out most people were logging in with Spotify anyway.
- Creating playlists with an incremental number of songs is no longer supported (the feature wasn't used and it's possible to do this manually through Spotify anyway).
** 📝 Some dev notes: **
- The app is now written in Typescript, though it doesn't take fully take advantage of it yet in some places
- The original v1 version can be found on the v1 branch.
- The store now uses Redux to manage state because the original app was just a giant array wrapped in a useState hook... which was a (very) poor design because I didn't know what I was doing back then. Now I know more about what I'm doing, so now the state management of the app is much better.
