Using the Jamendo API, Upnotes is a web application which lets you browse and play music from independent artists. The app provides the user with a range of options to find the music. Click through to top lists of artists, tracks and albums, filter it all based on music genre and popularity over a desired time span, or perform a custom search based on keywords. Play songs and add more to the queue to keep listening.

After building Fika and with the positive impression the tools used previously had given me, I wanted to further solidify my knowledge in React with Redux. To do so, I opted for a slightly more challenging project which would force me to work more intensively with the state than before. Presenting the content provided by the API was nothing new, but connecting it to the player and having the player allow extensive user interaction was the challenge in this project.
