Vibes

A mobile app for creating location-based collaborative playlists.

Features

Current Capabilities:

• The app allows you to be authenticated with Spotify and play music through Spotify's player
• Users can create a playlist and select a starting genre/vibe, which will populate the initial playlist
• This playlist will be location-based, in that users in the vicinity of a playlist will automatically be able to add to it, and once they leave, they no longer have access

                   

The playlist-creation flow:

When users create a playlist, they can search through Spotify's pre-set playlists by genre to choose an initial "vibe." The user's current location is automatically stored with their new playlist, and other users in the vicinity can immediately start contributing.

The song-adding flow:

Similarly to the playlist-creation process, users can search through Spotify's songs by title when adding a song.

Acknowledgments

We leveraged documentation from Spotify's Web API to implement many features of our app. We would also like to give a huge thank you to our professor Tim Tregubov and our TA's in CS52 (Full-Stack Web Development) at Dartmouth College for guidance and support, as well as our fellow classmates. We would also like to thank #MEN #IN #STEM (especially Travis) for giving us the emotional capacity to make it through this project. Couldn't have done it without you. #hackerwomen #womenwhocode #shrillwomen
