Sonospace

A beautiful, minimal, and funky redesign of the Spotify Web Player. Use Sonospace to boogie down, browse new releases, and to review playlists! Growing up in an era that celebrated custom media players à la Fubar, WinAmp, etc, I have been missing custom skins on the programs that I use the most... so I decided to make one from scratch! Thank you for visiting this repo!

User Stories

• As a user, I want to be able to log in through Spotify or be linked to Spotify for account creation.
• As a user, I want to be able to view the song currently playing, browse new music from top artists, and review playlists.

Versioning

As of February 18, 2018 this app is in development post-graduation from General Assembly's WDI program and is initilized in this GitHub repo. Basic React Routes stubbed out and design of the UI has begun.

To Do

As this is a project currently in development, there some things left to implement.

• Render top artists/new released album art in media player.
• Change interval for the getCurrentSong functionality to avoid polling Spotify too often.
• Fetch user's public AND private playlists.
• Incorporate 30 second preview files for any song clicked on from the client.
• DJ function, create playlists based on interests.
