Overview
A mashup of many technologies were used to bring this experience to users. The project was scaffolded up using the angular CLI and utilized to build the application. The visualization engine is a port of audiograph which was brought in as it's own angular 2 component. The music catalog takes advantage of Spotify's API for searching and track playback. Twitter's API was used for both the ability to retrieve related tweets via live stream and for posting to the user's timeline if they choose to share. (Add screenshot info if we get that working too)
