Reddify is a simple web utility to create a Spotify playlist out of a Reddit post’s comments.
It features a minimal UI built without any javascript frameworks.
Why I built Reddify?
Quite often, on subreddits like r/music and r/spotify, there are huge threads that are filled with comments featuring great music suggestions. I used to listen to a few of the top comments and forget about the rest. This felt like leaving a treasure trove of new music experiences behind.
While most of the days I stick to listening familiar tunes, there are specific days when I am very excited about discovering new songs and having a playlist of these suggestions from Reddit looked like a wonderful way to go about it.
How does Reddify work?
Once a Reddit thread is submitted, Reddify extracts the comments out of the post and uses the Spotify Search API to narrow down the song and picks the top result. This idea was born out of my own experiences of finding Spotify’s Search pretty spot on and worked as well when I tried feeding it Reddit comments.
How to use Reddify?
Reddify used to be hosted on reddify.pesh.dev. Since I’ve not yet received Spotify’s approval to use their API publicly, it is temporarily down at the moment. Until then, if you want to try it out, please do so by cloning the repo, and following the instructions provided in README.
