[Enhancement] Add album artwork to list view of friend activity

[3raxton]

Hey, @aviwad, thank you for all the hard work you've put into this! The app is almost exactly what I've been looking for to see what my friends are listening to on my phone.

I was thinking about enhancements and had the idea of adding the album artwork of the current song playing to the list of friends in the app. I'm a huge fan of album artwork and think this visual could be super beneficial for new and existing users.

I've seen this done in the SpotiBuddies app, but the forced ads in the app make it unusable. If you have any questions about this from a design perspective, feel free to ask.

Whether implemented or not, I wanted to express my appreciation for the time put into the app. Keep up the great work! 🎉

Hi. Thank you for the sweet message 😊. I’ve thought about showing album art too, but I don’t know where to display it. Any ideas or maybe a sketch? Thanks again for the interest.

Hey,

I haven’t quite had time to make a design. As for the beta, it’s not open for new testers. Would you mind adjusting this?

Hey,

Do you mind if I send you a Sketch file with design suggestions once I’m able to check this out?

Need to send album art api calls with custom user agent, Spotify's started blocking my app's user agent.
