You got a back trap. When I try to navigate back from the playlist screen it goes to the processing screen, and then repeats the processing request every time I navigate back after that. Maybe a bit gnarly if that is kicking off the spotify fetch each time. Aside from that, nice, I'm listening to one of the playlists right now.

thank you for the feedback! glad that you're enjoying!

Love the idea, although I feel like the playlists generated aren't... great. For me it was grouping things in a pretty odd way that didn't make sense (e.g. Bob Marley under a "punk" playlist)

Congrats on the launch!

Interestingly I've been working on an almost exactly the same kind of thing and was hoping to release it soon. I've applied to get my app's limits lifted on Spotify, but haven't heard back from them yet...How long did it take for you?

Last time I checked Spotify's genre categorisation system was really weird so that doesn't surprise me.

yeah, exactly. Artists genres are weird and the algorithm uses a weighted system to determine the clusters. But you need to try a couple of different options to get what you want.
