Group Project - BandWagon
Deployed site: https://mstange22.github.io/bandwagon
Requirements included building an app using data from 2 APIs. We chose Wikipedia and SoudCloud. We also needed to use a technology not yet presented in our boot camp, so we used Skeleton for buttons and font. Bootstrap is still the main framework (grid system, navbar & jumbotrons). Polished front end? Check! Error checking / input validation? It's pretty robust. Good coding standards: indentation, scoping, naming. I think we're good there. No pop-up "alerts", "prompts", or confirms. Check out our modals! We're mobile responsive, too.
The general concept of the app is that users can select a musical band or artist and view related facts and listen to SoundCloud tracks.
We use Firebase to store up to 5 initial presets. From there, session users can add bands/artists which are added to the navbar buttons, overwriting presets just for their session. Original pre-sets are refreshed on page load.
Future functionality could be to tie into Spotify (our first choice) so that we can access a larger collection of tracks and display complete discographies of each band or artist. We could also use Amazon and create "Buy Now" links for track / album purchases.
Another idea that was suggested is to have the presets loaded with trending artists so that users can listen to hot tracks immediately.
