QR code scanner web application for playing Spotify songs blindly:
- Log in with a Spotify Premium account.
- Scan a QR code with a Spotify song URL (i.e. https://open.spotify.com/track/...).
- The app immediately starts playing the song without revealing any details about it.
This app was designed to enable a range of musical party games. For example, physical tiles may be printed with a song's name, artist and/or publication year on the other side. To create such tiles, see https://github.com/Theys96/blind-song-scanner-generator.
If you happen to know more about whether the design of this app complies with or violates the Spotify Design & Branding Guidelines, please let me know!
This application was built with npm/11.0.0 and vite/5.4.8. The project's code is in a work-in-progress state, it has several glitches and many opportunities for refactoring.
