I also worked for 8 months on a music discovery webapp called Noiseblend that uses Spotify. We were never accepted for their commercial program and were not allowed to ask for money on the website. Source: about 1 year ago

My most ambitious web project was https://noiseblend.com which is a web app for discovering music on Spotify. It’s a next.js + React slow and memory hungry mess [1] which could have been static HTML with some JS for the dynamic bits. Experience taught me to keep it simple nowadays, but I had to go through the Noiseblend mistakes first. The stack is Python with Sanic for the backend, Postgres for db and Redis for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I’m serving everything from the Spotify API directly on Noiseblend (https://noiseblend.com) and rate limit has never been a problem. When a request fails because of a rate limit, Spotify responds with 429 and a Retry-After header so you know when to schedule the next request. In my tests, that header never had a value greater than 10 seconds, and 429 responses were very rare. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I've been using this site ever since I discovered it! I'm glad to see it featured on HN. I started learning to play the Romanian Kaval [1] last summer and Songdata helped me enormously in finding good backing tracks to improvise on. I'm mostly improvising on chillhop tracks right now because I'm trying to develop less traditional rhythms (although I'm still clumsy with the breathing and knowing when to keep the... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Hello fellow GNOME enthusiasts. I think I'm not the only one that happily uses the beautiful native Spotify client Spot. Source: over 1 year ago

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices... Source: over 1 year ago
