🎹 TEAM

This app was created as a final project for Ruby on rails bootcamp, The Hacking Project. Just like in all good RPGs, the team behind this masterpiece has its Front-end-Fighter (Marie-Charlotte Le Morvan), DB-Wizard (Quentin Potié), Front-end-Cleric (Andrea Palma) and API-Thief (Charles Belpois).

🎶 UNDER THE HOOD

This app is more complex than it seems. Here are all the things you'll find among this messy code.

• A government-level data scrapper: scrapping Genres and Artists from Everynoise.com, and popularity levels from Spotify (in services)
• The most beautiful postgresql database ever seen, with links everywhere (db.schema.rb to check it out)
• An incredibly skillful use of Spotify API: aren't those pics and recommendation lists the absolute best? (in view artist#show for example)
• To browse our database, a functional Algolia search bar, no need to say more, you're already impressed (in view home#index)
• And a home made stunning front, because we love making it harder for ourselves (mostly in assets/stylesheets).

🎼 FEATURES

• User sign up, log in, password retrieval, confirmation emails...
• Research by Artists and by Genres.
• Like and comment artists to get tailored recomendations in your profile page.
• For each artist, browse their albums, similar artists or related genres.
• Discover top 10 most liked artists on melomaniacs and last comments at a glance.
