Musicells

Sep - Oct 2025|

A music discovery app using Spotify's API to browse albums, view new releases, and save favorites.

Background

Musicells was a big milestone for a couple of reasons. It was my first actual deployed web dev project (not counting MISAyang Samahan since that was a team deployment and I wasn't doing the devops myself). It was also my first React project, so this is where I learned components, hooks, state management with Zustand, and deploying to Vercel.

The App

The idea was simple: I love music, Spotify has a great API, why not use it? You can browse albums, see new releases, and save favorites. It was a nice project to tie together everything I was learning at the time. One heads up though: the app doesn't work right now. Spotify only allows one deployed project per developer account, and I'm already using the Spotify API on this personal site. So Musicells got knocked out. But the project still means a lot to me as a first.
