Yesterday I randomly found a person on Spotify whose playlists I love. It's as if these playlists were made by me; I love them and now I have at least thee new good playlists to listen to. I immediately knew that I want to replicate this experience-finding people that love the same music as me. In the afternoon, I coded a simple web app.
The app is very simple and halway complete but ready for users. The currently implemented part works a bit like Tinder selection: 1. you are presented one song you recently listened to a lot 2. a 30 second preview of the song starts playing and you are shown the song's cover, name, and artists 3. you must rate the song with either: - NO: I am sick of this song/I hate it - MEH: it's OK - LOVE: I loveee this song, it gives me the chills 4. repeat-go to step 1 with the next song See a screenshot here: https://twitter.com/touch_marine/status/1478772993602080775
The rest of the app (the half not yet implemented) will take this ratings and match them with others. You will get a list of matches and you will be able to go to their Spotify's profile and listen to their public playlists.
I am looking for any users that would like to give the app a go. Unfortunately, I have a limited API access which means only 20 people can register and I first need to enter their Spotify email into the Spotify Developer Dashboard. To register send me your Spotify email to scout at touchlabs.io or on twitter to @touch_marine (https://twitter.com/touch_marine).
