• Chat with community : Users can chat with people/ friends around the globe about nothing to everything, they can also see who all are connected to the chat. The song played by any member gets played for everyone joined in the chat.

🛠 How we built it

We used spotify-api to build our back-end server and sockit.io for chat box implementation. And for the frontend, we used Reactjs.

🎯Challenges we ran into

In integrating the front-end with the backend, we ran into several issues, but all got resolved. We also had to research on finding appropriate python libraries for using spotify's api and for connecting spotify to the chat.

🏆Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completed the project as per the plan. We are proud of creating a full-fledged application, backend server with proper documentation, frontend in such a little time.

📖What we learned

Learned about new Spotify API. Used new python libraries like spotipy.
