Cool app! Here are some things you could consider:

  • When creating a playlist from 5 tracks, it will ask you to log in. After logging in, you have to enter the 5 tracks again.
  • When creating a playlist from 5 tracks, it would be cool to search for songs.
  • Probably a bit more difficult, but suggestions from other streaming platforms (if there are any) could maybe diversify the results even more and set you apart from the Spotify suggestions, specially when it comes to niche music :-)

  • By default when clicking on the create button on the home page, it checks for login, but not on the create button in the nav bar, I see what needs to be improved.

  • Definitely a very good idea to make the whole experience simpler.

  • That sounds interesting, however there's also a slight chance that one track on a platform is not available on another platform.

Oh and if you you reverted your algorithm, you could use it as a "discovery" playlist instead of "similar songs", i.e. the songs that got recommended by the API the least will be selected :-)

Hmm... I didn't think about this.

It is scary how well this worked. All songs I never heard before but were relevant to my tastes. Great job!

How do you plan to make it better?

That's a question I can't exactly answer right now. But a rough idea would be improving the algorithm and the overall user experience, making the app available on IOS and Android.

Great work here, something I personally need. Will give it a spin and share feedback! It’s cool that it’s open sourced too
