Hey everyone,
I am 17
I often use ChatGPT to generate playlists for workouts or coding, but moving those songs into Spotify or YouTube Music was a pain. I had to search for them one by one.
Existing transfer tools usually require you to log in with your Spotify account (which feels sketchy for a quick task) or pay for a subscription.
So I built PlaylistBridge.
What it does:
You paste a text list of songs (numbered, bulleted, whatever). It instantly fetches the album art and metadata (using the iTunes API). It generates "Search Links" that open directly in your preferred app (Spotify, YT Music, or YouTube). Privacy: It is 100% client-side. There is no database, no login, and no tracking.
The Tech:
It’s a static site hosted on Netlify. It uses a hybrid approach: iTunes for instant metadata (so it feels fast) and URL hashing to create shareable session links without a backend.

Hope it saves you some clicks!

Dev Note:
I originally tried to build this using the official YouTube API, but I kept hitting rate limits and "quota exceeded" errors. I realized that for a simple utility, I didn't actually need a heavy backend.
I ended up re-architecting it to be completely "serverless" by using the public iTunes search API for the visuals (it's surprisingly fast/open) and simple search query deep-links for the actual playback. This means the site can handle Reddit's traffic without crashing or costing me a fortune. Open to feedback on the code!
