Fiestafy Music Web Portal

Background

1:01:58 EDT: So we won the Mobile Week NYC hackathon at Spotify's offices a little while back with Fiestafy, and are still chugging along getting the iOS app ready for release after missing a few planned release dates starting on July 4, 2014. Spotify's Android SDK is still a little way from ready, and I really want to use this product we've built, so I'm jumping into a web-based version RIGHT NOW.

Step 1: Review the Web API

1:02:39am Sweet. RESTful JSON, with what appears to be decent documentation. Time to dig deeper.

1:22:38am Took a break, but now have my app set up on Spotify's server and have my registration url redirect rolling

1:52:33am Knocked out the redirect_uri and session logic, moving along nicely. The dudes from the gay club down the block are partying in the street. It's Friday night. Who can blame them?

2:02:05am Looks like the only way to actually play the music after callback would be to open the song in play.spotify.com, which means my interface may be in the background and not able to queue new songs, etc. May have to rely on adding the song to a playlist that we create for the user.

Step 2: Break.

After 1hr, time to table for the night and sleep on it...data science learning to do...
