Inspiration
We took inspiration from the well-known dating app "Tinder", but instead of matching with people, you match with some great song recommendations!
What it does
It allows a user to input an artist's name and get song recommendations. They can play a snippet of the song (if the song has a preview on Spotify available) and like the song or reject the song. The saved liked songs are displayed at the bottom of the website. We provide users with up to 10 recommendations.
How we built it
We used a Spotify API to create the recommendation and get a track name, cover image, album name, and artist name for each recommendation.
Challenges we ran into
Because it was our first time working with APIs, we were stuck on getting the API to actually return an iterable that we can work with, but once we got that down we were more confident in our coding.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we were able to make our vision into a reality and see it run and give some actually pretty good song recommendations. We feel like we made finding new music easier and faster.
What we learned
We learned how to work with Spotify API and how to create a website.
What's next for SoundSwipe
If we were to continue developing SoundSwipe we would implement actual playlist creation on a Spotify account and add more parameters for the song recommendations such as genre or even just a song.
