Let's Code A Spotify Clone While I wait for my flight

Transcript

Let's code a Spotify clone while I wait for my flight. My Spotify listening times skyrocket when I travel, so I figured, you know what, let's see if I can save $12 a month and build my own. I like to start out with the most basic version of the app and go from there. Spotify at its core is a search engine for music, so I started with some sample data and built out the three main tabs: home, search, and library. At this point, I want as many songs available to me as the Spotify app itself, so I found a no-fuss music API. And this was my first time coding since getting my nails done, so I was definitely making more typos than usual. And at the end, I had my very own music streaming app, which came in handy during this 12-hour layover.
