Transcript excerpt

This is how I build a website that better you burn a CD. Here's the thing, sending a playlist should feel a little more special than a Spotify rank, so I made it myself. First, watch the YouTube videos of people burning CDs. I built it like a two thousand's installation wizard. Tier retro buttons and fake progress bar. Next, I built a CD player, lead opens, lead closes, and disc spins. I spent way too much time on this animation better like totally worth it. Then I tier to connect Spotify API, finally got it worse, and found out only five people can use it unless I register as a business. So I cried four or five seconds and pivoted to iTunes API instead. The trade off? Only thirty seconds per song, and that decision really really really hurt. So I made it easy. Copy the whole playlist, open each song in Spotify or Apple Music with one tap. Last thing I added was a shareable link. Every CD gets its own preview image. You send it to someone and they open it. Someone told me they sent it to their crush and they're dating now. Sorry it's a lie, but let me know if you did. Bye.
