Spotify Water Cooler - Killing productivity...one beat at a time!

Last weekend, I won 1st place at the 2012 API Hackday NYC with my submission Spotify Water Cooler. It is a Spotify playlist manager that interacts with Spotify playlists (intended to be played on a shared space/office computer blasting Spotify). The water cooler bit refers to a simple non-persistant web chat as well as the awesome Twilio Client API integration for a voice chat from the browser. The app was built with Sinatra. Enjoy!

Now if you only could stream that to the willing listeners instead of forcing the whole office to listen… that’d be truly epic.

Yeah, well… It’s called Soundrop, and it’s already integrated with Spotify as a Spotify App :/

There definitely apps including Spotify apps that do that Ilkka and mrcasals, but I wanted to do essentially a Spotify jukebox for the office, for those fun friday blowouts :). There isn’t a way to do this with a Spotify app (via their HTML+JS apis)

@harisamin: I don’t get your point. With Soundrop you can create your own private listening rooms, so basically that’s the same Spotify Water Cooler does… Or it’s just me and I don’t understand your work?
