Development

Most of the interesting logic that communicates with the Spotify Web API happens in Javascript in exportify.js. I've left many detailed code comments and tried to structure it as rationally as I can, so take a look. The webpage skin and a few action bindings are defined in index.html.

To experiment with changes, run a local web server. For example, using Python (in the Exportify repo dir):

python3 -m http.server

Then open [http://[::1]:8000](http://[::1]:8000). The Javascript can be invoked by interacting with this locally-served webpage.

Data science stuff is written with Python in tasteanalysis.ipynb, which you can run with python3 -m notebook, then navigating to http://localhost:8888.
