Inspiration

We are all music enthusiasts, so we wanted to build an application that could find us people with similar likes and dislikes in music.

What it does

Our web application has the user sign up and then tell the application whether or not they liked or disliked a 30 second snippit of several songs. After filling the progress bar, the application will give the user the top 5 list of people with similar tastes and distastes in music. If the user tries to reenter the application, it will immediately go back to the results.

How we built it

We used HTML/CSS/Javascript for the front end and Python for the back end. We used Flask, SQLite, and the Spotify API to help us build the application as well.

Challenges we ran into

We were all unfamiliar with back end programming, so we used pair programming to help ourselves learn as we build the application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are most proud of finding a way to let the front and back end communicate with each other through get and post method calls.

What we learned

We learned how to use the Spotify API as well as program using back end technology.

What's next for Spotify Friend Finder

In the future, Spotify Friend Finder will have a friend system so that you can add people you would like to be your friend.
