Background

Our team was tasked with creating an online music streaming web app using React and open APIs. The goal was to create a platform that would allow users to stream their favorite music, create playlists, and discover new artists. We wanted to ensure that the app had all the features of a popular music streaming service like Spotify, including authentication and personalized recommendations.

Problem

The main challenge we faced was integrating multiple APIs into our platform while ensuring that they worked seamlessly together. We also needed to ensure that the app was user-friendly and easy to navigate, with a clean and modern design. Additionally, we needed to implement authentication features to protect user data and ensure privacy.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, we decided to use React as our front-end framework due to its flexibility and ease of use. We also carefully selected the APIs we would integrate into our platform, ensuring that they were reliable and provided accurate data. To make sure that the app was user-friendly, we conducted extensive user testing throughout the development process.

We implemented authentication features using OAuth 2.0, which allowed us to securely authenticate users without storing any sensitive information on our servers. Finally, we designed the app with a modern look and feel, making it easy for users to navigate and find what they were looking for.
