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
