Project Description

I hate finding and playing albums on Spotify. I never find what I want, when I want. Playlists are weird for playing albums.

I would love to have something that is like a whiteboard or diagram software. Perhaps like a visual programming system.

Have cover art blocks. Arranged, piled, scaled, whatnot. Have text, other images, lines, drawings, background.

Possible interactions: Click to play. Draw arrows between the albums to chain play them.

Challenge: Finding a good library to do the heavy lifting frontend work.

Distraction: Spotify API authentication.

Learn: Modern frontend development

Goal for this Hackweek

  • Get an idea how things like Angular, Vue, etc. work. Pick one. Possibly Angular, since that is what the frontend teammates use.
  • Do the tutorial
  • Hack up a prototype
  • Make notes on the way

Looking for hackers with the skills:
