Do you love Spotify? Do you have Spotify running on a computer in your office or shared space that blasts awesome music all the time? Are you tired of having to physically or remotely go to the computer to manage the playlists on Spotify? Well fear not... Spotify Water Cooler is here!
Search songs on Spotify and add them to your playlists being played! But this is not just to get your groove on, its a water cooler, chat with your friends, colleagues, frienemies, associates, & fellow sociopaths while you groove and choose to to groove to. Chat either with the built in chat or use voice chat in your browser powered by the awesome Twilio Voice Chat api all in your browser.
Hmmm...joined the chat a bit late and wanna know what people were talking about? TOO BAD! Real life water coolers don't have chat logs and neither do we. Don't worry, no one is talking about you behind your back wink wink.
These instructions have been written for OS X.
- Spotify API Key Download libspotify and your app key
- TWILIO Client API Key Sign up, its SUPER easy!
- Ruby 1.9. Use RVM to manage your Ruby installations. It's good.
- Rubygems
- Git
- The Bundler gem. Install with 'gem install bundler'.
Use Bundler to install project dependencies for you:
$ bundle install
This will install gems and various other dependencies if not already on your system. It will also create a Gemfile.lock file which will ensure that dependencies do not change unless you explicitly rerun bundle install again.
Copy the example config file:
$ cp config.yml.example config.yml
Enter your Spotify and Twilio credentials in config.yml. Make sure to place your Spotify key (e.g. spotify_appkey.key) in the root folder of the project.
To run the application:
$ thin start
The app will be viewable at http://localhost:3000
