This is a submission for the MLH x DEV Writing Challenge
What I Built
SongTagger is an application that lets listeners tag songs and help other listeners find them more easily. Users can not only search for a genre or an artist like in every platform, but also for feelings. Sad, Happy, Dreamy, Silly, those are all valid tags to search for and will appear as soon as you or sufficiently enough people tag a song with those. This way, we build a song catalog that expresses the listeners true view of a song.
With the user given tags, we also build a recommendation system based on that! Now it is not only "listen to this because you like rock", but also "listen to this because you've been horribly depressed lately".
Demo
Partner Technologies
No team project is doable without a nice version control system, and no version control system is complete without a host for your projects and versions. As usual, we would not be able to do it without GitHub.
Uncountable pulls, a few manageable merge conflicts, but a clean collaboration with the team without the need to send each other files over messaging platforms or to upload always upload the current version to cloud drive. Essential platform!
Hackathon Experience
This was a submission to the Knight Hacks IX. Attending with my good friend Kaiky, everything there was so new to us. There were many useful workshops, talking about both technology and soft skills. But beyond that, even the social events happening were a fantastic experience to enjoy with that community of easy-going yet hard-working devs.
The organizers did a great job, and we can still see awesome projects from equally awesome participants in the devpost. Certainly an experience to come back to.
