released-albums's Issues

Spotify Login

I saw that they are no longer working on this project, which is a shame.

Maybe you would still like to help because it probably only needs small changes.

I can log in with my developer account stored on Spotify without any problems and everything works.

Is there a way that other users can also log in to retrieve data without providing an API key and ID?

If that doesn't work, perhaps you have the option of adding 2 more users.

I would be very happy to receive feedback

For Spicetify?

Hey. I know it's outside of your project, but maybe you'd be interested? Do you know about Spicetify? This is tool for modifying the appearance and capabilities of Spotify. It also has New Releases, but unlike your site, it doesn't show Appearances, only Albums and Singles, which is why a lot of songs are skipped. I asked author to add Appearances, but he thinks that they will be superfluous, although he said that he can help. Maybe you want to make your own version of the extension for Spicetify? I'm not programmer, but your site and its extension on javascript, so maybe it's not that hard...
