TODO

General

• Convert to pure javascript
• Style login page
• Make some javascript to deploy navbar html across all pages in common.js
• Stop using the url to keep params (store locally then clear url for other things)
• Add Logout button (clears tokens and such)
• Add footer to index page
• Simple about page maybe with venmo/donation button
• Make the 404 page appealing
• Make a Spotify/Music Data FAQ page (with most popular searches taking into account SEO)
• Make pages more static/template based for SEO
• Create sitemap and submit to search console
• Put in alt text for all images
• Add title tags and meta descriptions (150-300 characters) to all pages and optimize them
• Figure out url stuff so a user can authenticate from google and go right to a certain page
• Recommend one song per day (could be history blind), curated by me - "Song of the Day"
• Make a song comparison page
• Song Battles? Picking higher song in categories minigame?
• Change song info page to be more appealing, possiblly toogle for cards/stats
• Add a charts page which lista spotify/billboard/genius/itunes/apple music/etc charts and combines them into a master chart (there is a playlist for the billboard hot 100)
• Add a way to see you top saved artists and albums-Maybe like a top 5 thing or just the most saved of each in the stats sidebar
• Add a proprietary playlist, artist, track, or user "score" that combines all of the availiable data-maybe multidimenstional, like a picture or something?
• Personaliy Guesser or something fun like that-spin off site in same domain but other subdomain?
• Add option to paginate on playlist page and put warning on playlists that will take a while to load instead of the banner on top
• Default to pagination for playlists over ~200 songs
• have songdata become more of a dashbiard for the song, also expand to searching for albums, artists, podcasts? include rankings for songs/albums like gold/platinum status or pitchfork rating
• pie shart of genres (group similar ones to get a better idea of overall makeup? ML?)
• Number of unique artists/albums
• Put stats in playlist boxes on playlist select page for easy comparison
• Make genres clickable and to go every noise at once/maybe in the future have separate genre pages that can pull from ENAO with full playable songs for dicovery
• Display top albums for saved songs (10 songs from 808's and Heartbreak, 9 songs from Flower Boy etc...) and order them, MAYBE PERCENTAGES would be better? bc albums have different lengths

Feedback

• add a way to see how many songs you have saved from a particular artist
• add more stats to pages with sidebars
• generate Beat/Bar/Tatum graph for each searched song
• make it so that logout presents the option to sign in with a new account (probably need localstorage or cookie)
• add a lil more flair to the site, its pretty dry mostly in content but also in graphics

Song Info Page

• ADD A WAY TO SEARCH BY TRACK DATA!!! (If possible)
• Make numbers in chart easier to read and understand
• Add a 30 sec preview to track data page using preview_url field
• Add album art
• Generally make the page more appealing-Maybe put in moving/stationary emotes for categories with cards (dancing, happy, speech, loudness) -Maybe toggle between stats view and visually appealing emote view?
• Add to queue button for song
• Lyrics on page/link to them (Musixmatch api integration? Possibly a widget? Genius lyrics/facts about the song?)
• Move from artist genres to album genres for more precision-NOT FEASABLE RIGHT NOW
• Show the covers of the specified song (use secondhandsongs.com?)

Account Stats Page

• Account Info (minutes listened/tracks played/time of day most active?, number of playlists, avg number of songs per playlist?, popularity of top artists, add time range slider/button group!!)
• Top Artists/Top tracks
• Recently Played
• Followers
• Playlists/Library (Click on a a playlist or library to get stats on it- genre %, avg duration, tempo, valence, etc..., Add in a way to reorder based on attributes)
• Reccomendations
• Insights (like Spotify.me, deeper than just stats, perhaps observations about general listening, reccomendations on how to use spotify better, listen better) ** Maybe merge insights and account info, and give top artists/tracks their own page

New Music Page (filter by user's top artists, maybe a "for you" tab-ML?, using Spotify rec's?)

• New Singles
• New Albums
• Sort new/popular/playlist/library music by attributes (find the most danceable tracks, see which tracks were mastered the loudest, find out which songs are in the key of C, etc...)

Small link to other cool Spotify sites (at bottom of page)

• Kaleidosync

Queue Manager

• Ability to save current/different queues and batch add songs to queue
• Probably not possible or useful with the current API implementation
