Launch play.spotify.com / Soundbounce when the extension button is clicked #266

Open beveradb opened 9 years ago

For now it's a functional message which is displayed to tell the user to open play.spotify.com and log in first, but it would be much better if when you clicked the button, it opened spotify for you.

Even better if it could open spotify for you, wait for you to be logged in and everything loaded, then launch Soundbounce!

Even more better if it could open both in a new window, or in a window which isn't just a normal browser window but has a Soundbounce title and such (I believe this kind of thing is actually not too hard from a chrome extension, but I need to do more digging)

Extensions window API: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows However, I reckon it might be nicer to make SB into a Chrome "app" which would give it more control; https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_window

Yep all good ideas, thanks Andrew. I actually quite SB in a normal tab, so this should be an option for users if we enable launching in a sep window.
