About The Project

SongBoard Screen Shot

🎵✨ We love to soundtrack our lives...or at least I do. A morning jog by the park with your favorite tunes keeping the rhythm of every step you take. An afternoon cafe run - slow jazz songs in the background amidst the clack of laptop keys. An evening beach trip with friends, synth-filled melodies flowing through the speakers. It feels like you can find a playlist for anything you can type into a search engine - but what if you don't have the words for it?

With SongBoard, you can generate a playlist based on 'vibes' - specifically the vibes of your curated Pinterest boards. Each Pinterest board is a unique reflection of your interests, themes, and aesthetic choice literally hand picked by you. Why not have a playlist that does the same?🎵✨

Usage

Pinterest Users

If you have a Pinterest account with boards, simply click on the Get Started button on the homepage.

  • Connect & Sync: Link your Pinterest account to SongBoard effortlessly.
  • Discover & Inspire: Choose any board filled with your favorite pins and let our app analyze the images.
  • Play & Enjoy: Receive a curated playlist that matches the mood, theme, and vibe of your board.

The songs are embedded from Spotify's API meaning you can save the songs to your account as well!

Non-Pinterest Users

Note

  • The URLs must be separated by spaces e.g. https://image1.jpg https://image2.jpg.
