Someone should rebuild turntable.fm using Spotify
I think somebody did. Go on Twitter and put turntable.fm in your tweet. They'll come calling. I otherwise don't remember their name.

#22It would be nice if their API provided endpoints for Spotify for Artists. There is a lot of opportunity there to make apps that support musicians and labels.

#23Tangentially 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...
Must've been a lot of work. I considered writing a library for the Web API in Swift, but there's just too much maintenance. There were also some weird bugs I encountered when parsing JSON like the time stamps being in the wrong format.

I think jqbx.fm is what you’re looking for. Only works with Spotify Premium from what I’m aware though.

I think I get what you're saying: endpoints that artists can use that would be beneficial towards their brand.
Re: Open-Source Spotify App
#26Interesting.. > '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
I'm pretty sure he only meant selling point as a "why should I care about your repo" or "what purpose is this program trying to fulfill" statement: not actually suggesting to selling as a product

Only me
I guess, it's a lot of time, but do you use it? Is that why you made it ? I'd love to send 100 questions on.
That was one of my intentions. I also started this project to learn more about reactive programming and exploring the technical sides of creating views in Swift.

Right. Once again, never really thought of that. It could be a useful tool for others to learn off of: the app employs a MVVM and Coordinator architecture with reactive bindings. It's also a good example of using the Spotify Web API for Swift since there aren't many examples out there.

#29Interesting, I didn't know Spotify had an API to play music on iOS…
They do, but it’s not as nice as it used to be (I’m not sure it was ever nice but it’s gotten worse)
