Vibe-coding a better Spotify homepage

The Spotify homepage doesn't do it for me. There's too much choice, an advert at the top, playlists, podcasts, audiobooks... and somehow their recommendations rarely hit.

Most of the time, what I actually want is a physical table with about 10 records on it. Some should be familiar, others new.

So I made an app. To start, it crawled ~2000 songs from my playlists, then saved the ~800 unique artists to a database. Now, once a day, the app takes nine random artists from that database, looks up all of their albums on Spotify, and picks one at random.

It's not a physical table with physical records—I travel too much for that. But by build time : Hartree utilons, it's my most successful vibe-coding project so far.

Or you can just try something from the table.
