Collections

Beardify is a Spotify web client that fixes one of the biggest issues for me: the possibility to create album playlists (called "Collections" in Beardify) in addition to song playlists.

Artist vue

Beardify also adds other features that I feel are missing, like artist related links, and a more readable view of their discography than the current official client.

Search

In the official client, the search returns information that doesn't interest me, so I made sure to keep only the essential, in a compact view

The trick

The trick is to base it on the user's playlists, and check if the keyword "#Collection" exists in the name, and if it does, it becomes a collection. The advantage is that we can transform on the fly existing playlists of songs into a collection and vice versa, and that I do not break the current organization of users, since they are only "classic" playlists.

Technical restrictions:

Spotify's web API doesn't expose folder management, so I can't manage them on my end, so the playlist is flat.

Spotify web API does not allow non-premium users
