Living Music Database

Living Music Database

Full Stack Rails and React project for discovering new classical music

Living Music Database is a full-stack web app I built to help users effortlessly discover and explore new music. Developed with React on the front end and Rails on the back end, it leverages PostgreSQL for data storage and SCSS for clean, responsive styling. Every night, a custom Rake task taps into the iTunes, Spotify, and Google APIs to automatically refresh the database, ensuring the content is always fresh and relevant. Users can seamlessly search, filter, and browse artists, albums, and tracks, creating a dynamic, enjoyable experience for music enthusiasts. This project showcases my ability to integrate multiple APIs, handle automated data workflows, and deliver a smooth, intuitive user experience.
