1. Welcome to the Selectify wiki!
In September of 2022, I began listening to albums on a regular basis, and each time I found an album I was interested in or had one recommended to me by a friend, I would add it to my saved albums list on Spotify. Very quickly, this list grew to a point that I could not keep up with it. By November, I had so many albums saved that choosing one from the list became hard.
During Summer break this year (2023), I wanted to teach myself Python. After completing a few basic projects, I decided to face a bigger opponent and create a full-stack app. The goal of this project was to gain a deeper understanding of Python, create something useful for both myself and others, pick-up some basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and to get a better understanding of software development. Still facing the same problem since November, I decided to create an app that would remove the inconvenience of choosing an album from someone and allow for a computer to choose for them.
- This is my first "large" project (i.e., It is my first fullstack project).
- I started this project on Jun 1, 2023 and finished it on Aug 18, 2023 (Excluding updating the README and Wiki).
- I went into this project knowing basic Python, but nothing about front or backend development, HTML, CSS, local hosting, etc.
- Spotify's Developer Site, Chat GPT, Stack Overflow, Receiptify's source code, Shreyas Jaganmohan's Spotify Flask Authentication Example, Tony Teaches Tech, NetworkChuck, and Tech With Tim were all huge helps in learning and understanding many important components of this project.
