Albumin Diet Engine

Overview

Albumin Diet is an application that aims to make a music streaming platform (Spotify) less playlist-centric and more album oriented. With Albumin Diet you can:

• Tag your saved albums with your custom-made tags
• Browse your saved albums by tag
• Save an album in your listening-list and listen to them later

Try it

You can follow the instructions on the web repository and on the mobile-app repository.

N.B. This is intended to be a POC and is using a free DBaaS with limited storage available. All your data may be lost without warning.

To run this application locally, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/gianlucaparadise/albumin-diet-engine && cd albumin-diet-engine

5. Run the server using vercel
