SOTD-GENERATOR 🧙‍♂️

What?

This is a tool to generate cool instagram story sized graphics for song tops and highlights.

How?

The tool produces your graphic through the following steps:

• Searches for the song using the Spotify API
• Downloads the album art
• Performs color preprocessing (changes color space)
• Performs K-Means clustering to find dominant colors
• Generates a graphic using a gradient of dominant colors and the album art
• Screenshots from a headless browser

Why?

It's cool. Check out the results:

Top number: 15
Search track: Weird Fishes

Top number: 4
Search track: Is She Weird Pixies

Notes

• You can change the number of dominant colors and gradient structure by editing n_colors and the css file in assets respectively.
• You can edit the HTML file freely
• This project is very personal and it might not be suited as a general purpose tool as of now.

TODO

• Better CLI (it sucks right now ☠)
• Non-hardcoded gradient
• Better color preprocessing
• Better way of generating the image from the HTML
