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.
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.
