Roadmap

Roadmap

The goal is to eventually implement almost every Spotify feature.

Still Wanted

• Edit playlist details (rename / change description / visibility)
• Browse featured playlists, new releases, and categories
• Fetch another user's public playlists

Spotify API Coverage

This table shows what is possible with the Spotify Web API, what is implemented, and whether it's essential. spotatui keeps the Web API's request shapes but answers them from Spotify's internal API, the one the official app uses, so it needs no client ID and no developer app.
