The past week I’ve been exploring a better music exploration UI This one uses the Spotify recommendations API to let you go down different musical rabbit holes

Spotify’s in-app recommendations experience sucks and is getting worse - recs are heavily biased towards music you’ve already heard - hard to steer the algo - hard to sample lots of songs quickly

Took a different architectural approach with this one. The node UI is rendered entirely inside a Canvas with an event loop. Touch events get intercepted from an invisible UIScrollView

You can also scrub the audio and hear it back in real time to quickly get an idea of what a song sounds like

When’s this drop?? I am literally the perfect demographic to test this

Waiting on API rate limit increase

How are you implementing this? I’ve been envisioning this as a generic Graph Nav UI forever. Love it!

SwiftUI but not in the usual way, might do a blog post

i am SO obsessed, would love to demo. is there a repo for this app? what library/toolkit did you use to make this graph viz?

Not planning on open sourcing. It’s SwiftUI but everything is rendered inside a Canvas

fire! when's the testflight drop 👀?

Unclear. Spotify API rate limit got hands
