Features to implement

[BTx123]

General

• Work well
• Look good
• Be accessible

Audience

• Young adults

Audio

• Start at "random" time (within a limit) based on when music drops/hook comes in (i.e. between 20 and 30 second before drop to keep some of the buildup)
  • Jump to time smoothly (without playing the first microsecond of the song)
  • Chorus detection in Python
  • Get Audio Analysis for a Track - Spotify API
  • crowdsource/feedback, database
• Audio normalization (Spotify lets you choose volume level)

Functionality/Features

• Drink notification/splash/animation at the top of every time segment
• Timer (Countdown vs Radial/Circle-shaped)
  • should be pretty easy to implement
• Lyrics (Spotify?, Genius API, find a backup too)
  • lyrics react implementation, kinda broken though
• Volume slider/adjustment
  • use Spotify SDK
• Time bar + transport controls?
  • can implement with Spotify SDK
• Can users join an existing session?
  • probably best to use spotify auth per user that wants to join spotify session, look at Spotify ToS
  • disable spotify controls if not the host
  • for youtube, don't need authentication? Strict time (i.e. skipping/going back keeps the end time of the whole game

Setup/Getting Started

• Don't require login
  • log in to save playlists, hours listened, share playlist with others, etc.
  • have that data stored as cookies? can be deleted by the user though

Security

• TODO

Backend

• How to maintain session with spotify authentication - not sure if relevant
• [YouTube implementation] Don't play music videos (audio only videos)
• Timer on server, desync on clients

Spotify Web Playback SDK

• allows playback of music in the browser (can be heard through discord screenshare from browser)
• must have premium account to authenticate with player
• sound analysis data might provide enough to determine where to start song - look at sections
• naive approach takes second section and starts the song there
• see if sdk supports audio normalization for playback (seems like volume can be controlled through client, so maybe it pulls norm settings from user?)

Look at Spotify recommendations for user to fill in remaining songs Have preset playlists from us to choose from

intermittent messages from the system: "Hey, name your drink is looking pretty full. Take bigger sips" etc.
