Noiseblend VS stats.fm

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: 12 months 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.

I tried contacting support about this but they just hit me with a "we think you deserve it so we're not going to do anything" (not literally, but it has those vibes). I do not farm streams or practice fraudulent behavior in any manner, and y'all are free to check this out yourselves. I use Spotify very frequently, whether it be to drown out noise or to distract me from other things. I also have diagnosed ADHD and... Source: 6 months ago
