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:

      That sounds like a really creative project idea! Visual tools can make music interaction so much more engaging, and having customizable graphics adds another layer of fun. For inspiration on simple yet stylish design customization, you can check out Lyrics Generator, which shows how clean UI and flexible options can elevate user experience.
