Music Club: Quarantine Edition

When we couldn’t meet up in person for our music club in 2020, I created a site powered by a shared Google Sheet. The site then connected our song picks with APIs from Spotify & Youtube. This site allowed us to share songs, memories, and a bit of hope in a dark time.
