Replace Cover is a little tool that enables anyone to create consistent cover arts for their Spotify playlists. Works with other music services too. Backstory: I'm a product designer who wanted to learn React.js, so I spent some evenings & a couple weekends learning, building & shipping this app over the course of 10 days. Should designers code?

This is very cool. What resources did you use to teach yourself React? I'm impressed you built this is in ten days and I'd love to learn how to put something together like this.

@thejaybeewhy Hi Justin, Thank you! I constantly had a gazillion tabs opened with various Medium / blog articles, Stackoverflow threads and such. (this was day 5 or 6 and Chrome in jigsaw mode »» http://cl.ly/qVUZ) Redux was by far the hardest concept to grasp and required watching a couple videos too. Took me a good 2-3 days to finally understand what the heck I was doing there. Luckily for me, I kinda knew what / how to google. While I was a complete noob at React 10 days ago, I was vaguely familiar with some of the core concepts + have some experience tinkering with everything from Swift (built a stupid emoji game inspired by Blackbox to learn, not anywhere near shippable) to good old php, nodejs & Angular and setting up S3 & Cloudfront to serve a highly optimised static website + I’ve been doing HTML / CSS on and off for quite a few years now. #startuplife designer :) All together and according to Rescuetime, I think I spent around 40+ hours building this. Two long weekends and some nights. Hope this answer helps!

@raduceuca This was helpful. I've tried to learn in the past myself, but the React/Redux ecosystem has so many different pieces I wasn't sure where to start wrapping my head around it. Thanks for your response! I'm definitely going to use Replace Cover

Hey Product Hunt! Thought I'd also share the "Official" Spotify playlist of this app. This is what I've been listening to the last week or so, while building Replace Cover. A combination of funk, soul, r&b & indie stuff. ReplaceCover.com Original Soundtrack »» https://open.spotify.com/user/ra... Enjoy & thank you for the positive reactions! Radu

@rrhoover Woohoo, Thank you! Unsplash.com integration in the works, same with custom images. This has been more of a fun little way for me to learn React.js in a week by building and shipping something fun! Cheers! Radu

Cheers, Andrei! Received some amazing feedback to this from within Spotify and I'm now working on integrating their API so you can design & update your playlist cover art without even leaving Replace Cover.

I like the idea! I believe, the 4th button on the right is the download button?! Am I the only one who cannot use it? (Ubuntu 17.10 with FF 59.0.2)

Cool idea... am I being a noob, or is it impossible to upload your own photo? Either that or grabbing Unsplash images directly is key for what I want to do. Cheers!
