Qplus

Inspiration

After countless fights over the aux, we decided to create Qplus, a web app that allows live collaborative queueing for Spotify.

What it does

After a Spotify Premium subscriber navigates to the Qplus web app and starts a queue, anyone (even those without a Spotify account!) can enter an invite code in order to view and contribute to the queue in a mobile-friendly interface.

How we built it

We accessed the Spotify Developer API through a Flask app in Python hosted on an EC2 instance.

Challenges we ran into

Spotify's API doesn't directly allow you to enqueue or dequeue, so instead we emulated the queue's functionality by using playlists creatively and using custom data structures.
