Kompendium
Kompendium is a digital preservation of my friend Konrad Rauscher's immense musical curation that he shared with countless friends, family and strangers over 11 years. Between 2013 and 2024, he crafted 826 original public Spotify playlists totaling 59,903 songs. Konrad tragically passed away in October 2024.
Using Spotify's API, I collected, cleaned, and sorted all playlist data from Konrad's profile to prepare it for the web. You can view the Jupyter Notebook and related code from that process if you're interested.
I built the web app itself using SvelteKit as the full-stack framework with all custom components and CSS. To optimize performance due to the large amount of existing song data (over 16 MB), I built an API that sends the JSON payload for a given playlist only when the user has hovered over it with their cursor on desktop or when it enters their mobile device's viewport.
