Jammming Spotify Playlist App

Jammming is a web-based app that allows users to search for songs, create new playlists, edit the playlist titles and upload the playlists to their personal Spotify accounts.

This app was built with React as the Capstone project for Codecademy.com's Intensive Front-End Web Developer course.

A live demo of my version of this Codecademy Project / App was successfully deployed with Surge and can be viewed at this link: http://dragon_dance.surge.sh

Functionality:

Individual songs/tracks can be both added and removed from the New Playlist by using the corresponding + and - buttons. Playlist titles may be renamed and each playlist will be successfully saved to the user's account as soon as they click the "Save Playlist" button.
