Songbird is a web app that pulls api data from music streaming websites in order to create a customised music discovery. This app was created as a prototype for my Software Development (ISAT 340) class at James Madison University. The goal for this class was to walk us through the software development process from problem statements and mockups to a working protoype.

We chose electron for its incredible cross-platform abilities as well as the fact that our team was knowledgeable in JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
