Pop music rots your brain (yes, country is just another kind of pop music.) it’s fake culture pushed by the same well connected people that run the news.

Lol. That’s what I keep telling my friends after my third mug of vodka.

Hello fellow HN swiftie. I've also been pondering creating some (non copyright infringing) Taylor Swift app recently. Something like this is always a good idea as I'm constantly doing double takes to make sure I'm listening to Taylor's Version whenever a Red or Fearless track starts playing. I wonder if this would be possible too for Youtube playlists/suggestions, as that's my primary streaming music source. Also, since this app is written in Swift (natch), don't suppose there's any possibility of an Android port?

I know this is an unpopular take among reddit swifties, but I really miss The Swift Life app. When it shut down part of me wanted to reverse engineer the server-side to keep it going. It was a unique social media app and had a great, creative and artistic community. I even got free rep tickets from a friend on it! Also Taymojis. I still keep the app's icon on my phones homescreen, and launch it every now and then...

Thanks for the feedback! I've actually never heard of The Swift Life, I was a casual fan for a long time but I only really became a huge fan around the time Lover was released.

You're right about Android (and fwiw this app is 100% SwiftUI). I would love to make one but I don't know if I have the time and ability to make an Android app that I'd be proud putting my name on. I am considering making a web version though. I'd also love to add support for Apple Music, but their API doesn't allow third party apps to delete songs from playlists.

Wew lad hot take there. I'd rather rot my brain by listening to enjoyable music than social media doomscrolling. Besides Taylor Swift is to pop music like Shakespeare is to Youtube comments.
