Minify is a Miniplayer made for the Spotify player using the Unity Engine, built for Windows only.

The application's purpose is simple, showing what is currently playing on Spotify in a nice Miniplayer with the following features:

• Live Syncing with currently playing song on Spotify, regardless of device that is playing it
• Allows for Resume/Play/Forward/Previous playback of music
• Has a "Pin to top" feature to show above every window.

Due to issues with Windowing and Borderless Functionality, development efforts were shifted towards using a new engine to power the Miniplayer, you can check it out on Bittify's page.

Motivation

I always liked the Miniplayer Feature on Apple Music, as seen below:

But I didn't really like anything else about Apple Music, so I decided to build one for Spotify, and it was a really fun side project to work on while I trained for the Worldskills Competition.

It was also the first time I had to write documentation to seek approval for API use, and it was a pretty humbling experience to get your app rejected twice before acceptance. 😅 You can check out the documentation on Google Drive.
