Aleks’ Status Report 2/8

This weekend, I prepared to present our project proposal presentation. During the week, I looked more deeply into Spotify API to analyze exact functionalities that would be useful and make sure all of our use cases for their data followed their usage guidelines. I found some interesting audio analysis features that are notated as deprecated, but I want to do more research into. I also set up our GitHub repository and initialized the Django Webapp so I can do some work through Spotify’s tutorials next week to make sure we can load the music appropriately. I also did some review and practice coding web applications to brush up on my skills. Additionally, I met with my team to brainstorm through some of our system design decisions based off of presentation feedback. Next week, I plan to dig into our design decisions next week to determine our best design plans. I will ensure Spotify works for our use cases and look into best methods for procuring our lyrics, especially using a potential fix that a student in our section (Maya Doshi) told us could be useful.
