Music Sharing App

Why?

To preface, I'm one of those weirdos who still syncs music to their phone.

I have a lot of friends who love music and sharing what I'm currently listening to with them isn't possible (due to me manually syncing music to my phone). This project initially started as a way to share the album artwork of whatever song you're listening to in the native iOS music app, however soon expanded to more than just sharing artwork.

Features

One of the first things I did was implement an iMessage Extension to very easily share what I'm listening to with a tap (plus one more to send). What got shared was an image with the name of the song and artist.

The actual app doesn't look that good (in my opinion anyway), and I've been meaning to redesign it but there's nothing horrible about it. Eventually, I added the ability to get an Apple Music or Spotify URL to what I'm currently listening to (again, local file). Surprisingly, getting the first search result of "artist" + "song" is a fairly accurate way of getting the respective URL from a streaming platform.

As with many of my projects, the Music Sharing App is fully open source and available at GitHub.
