Interesting.. > 'and provides users with important metrics like their top tracks, top artists, and recently played tracks, queryable by time range' Is your feature selling point the time range ? I'm confused.. Looks like spotify has this already... EDIT: I get it now: Change the title to : Manage your own Spotify Any extra functionality ?

Never really considered that but I guess the selling point would be the fact that users get notified when their favorite artists release new songs. My app is one of many that does song pulling but it uses the Spotify api, one means to an end. The community can add extra features: all I’ve created is something that’s possible with the Spotify api that others can branch off of

Is this all you ? Or you have some friends with you ? It's really nice for 1 person.

Only me

Not sure how to send a PM here, but, if this is all you, you should spend your time changing/making shit, I just was in another topic about startups and entrepreneurs. over here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21865065

You kinda fit the bill of : yeah I do it because I can.

Much love

Don't think about selling it.

If you enjoy it, keep it up and just use it as a nice playground to show off.

Yup.. In a great way. Don't put yourself down. This is cool

Good eye! I’m really into entrepreneurship: starting a podcast next year and going to do validation on an idea I have before I start building an mvp.

Tangentially related - I wrote a C library for spotify's web api: https://gitlab.com/finnoleary/spotifyc

I've been working on the cli client and shuffling things about directory wise so I don't think it compiles anymore atm. But the library works fine. Actually in retrospect I think I might revert and splt them into separate repos...
