Enhances the Spotify experience with real-time song lyrics 🎵and more.

Smoretify

Smoretify is a light-weight web application that enhances your Spotify experience. It integrates Spotify and Genius API to fetch and display song lyrics, YouTube video, and track/artist info of your current Spotify playback.

About the Project

As someone who uses Spotify on a daily basis, I always wanted to have a convenient way to view lyrics of the currently playing song (as opposed to having to search in Google and find a legit link every time).

There was no existing app/service that provided exactly what I wanted. So I decided to build one to make myself happy.
