Alpha Release
After iterating locally & with some friends, the app is now available at pedalbeats.app. It is still limited to pre-registered users only, which is a requirement of the Spotify API. Please sign up via the home page!
Let's get the speed
The main point of PedalBeats is to allow users creating playlists with specific tempos & energy levels. With this new release, users can now create playlists suitable for coffe rides (calm energy, slow tempo), climbs (medium energy & tempo) & flat rides (high energy & tempo). The outcome can now be reviewed by users. Please let me know how you like the playlist at alric@pedalbeats.app
Custom Playlist creation
Added a few parameters to the Playlist creation workflow. Users can now select the genre, a minimum length for the playlist and a name. The selected genre and the users personal taste enable the creation of the playlist which gets saved to the users library.
First Playlist created
After learning the basics of HTML, CSS & JavaScript, I got used to Github and the Spotify API. The initial implementation pulled in all available Genres with every run and therefore exceeded API limits. I overcame it by hard coding the most important ones. After that, a new playlist was possible to create in the users profile. Hard coded genre for now though ;)
