"It's an interpretation of inversion, You turn it back and play it back and forth. It's actually Beethoven's 5th. So, I owe him a lot of money."
My only comment is I think this would of benefited from some interviews or commentary by actual musicians. It felt really really surface level.
They primarily used the genius.com API, which I didn't know existed. Anyone built any other cool projects with it?
Is there a "discovery" player that plays your own Spotify library, but shows you all related tracks by sample, interpolation, cover, etc from the Genius API that you can explore? Kind of like a wikipedia rabbithole, but for music?
One tiny tip though, when you have the buttons in the text to play the songs, the green buttons, you don’t really know how long that’ll go on for so a playtime indicator just by having the lightgreen button fill with dark green over time from left to right, 0 at the start 100 at the end would be great.
All in all really neat!
I don't remember it exactly, but I think near the end Richard solves the situation by building a (fake?) music app that detected that the song that had made the Patent Troll rich was actually a ripoff from another song that Richard had acquired the rights to, so now Richard could technically sue the Patent Troll for all the money he had made...
If anybody has a link to that scene it would be great.
