Working, Don't Bother Me

Generate ambient, atmospheric, or peaceful Spotify playlists that you can work to.

The inspiration for this app comes from my desire to have new music that doesn't distract me when I'm coding. It's jarring when I'm focused on a problem and the music playing has an annoying segment, distracting lyrics, or otherwise something that makes me hunt down my music player to change the track. I'm also lazy about wanting to find new music when I'm programming, so I wanted to get new music in the quickest way: by hitting a button in an app!

The name of this app comes from my manually curated Workin' Don't Bother Me playlist on Spotify.

How to Develop

Create a Spotify app. Set http://localhost:3000/users/auth/spotify/callback as a redirect URI.

bundle install
npm install
rake db:setup
rails db:migrate
cp dotenv.sample .env

Modify .env with your Spotify app's credentials.

bundle exec rails s
open http://localhost:3000

How to Deploy to Heroku

Create an app on Heroku.

Create a Spotify app if you haven't already. Set https://your-heroku-app.herokuapp.com/users/auth/spotify/callback as a redirect URI.

heroku git:remote -a your-heroku-app
heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
