SpotYourFriends was inspired by the need for making playlists for road trips or parties that everyone would enjoy! We hope people can realize how much they have in common!
Our web app allows multiple Spotify users to create a combined playlist using songs that all parties have in their library.
We leveraged Spotipy, Flask, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript to create the web form that the user interacts with to make changes to their playlist, and the back-end that interacts with the Spotify API.
It was challenging getting Spotipy to work with their required permissions, as well as getting the front-end to behave as we designed.
We're really happy that we got a polished tool and that it works as it's supposed to (for the most part!)
We learned about Spotipy and more about Flask.
We want to focus on having a more sleek API and fixing any bugs.
