Day 31: Building a Spotify Clone 🚀
Today, I started an exciting project to create a Spotify clone! 🎧
Here’s a detailed overview of what I accomplished:
🕵️♂️ Keen Observation and Asset Collection : I began by closely examining Spotify's website to grasp its layout, design elements, and overall user experience. I took detailed notes and collected necessary assets like images and icons from a Git repository to make sure my clone looks as authentic as possible.
🌐 Browsing with Favicon and Title : After setting up the initial structure, I was pleased to see that the favicon and title of my project displayed correctly in the browser. It’s a small detail, but it really added a nice touch to my clone right from the beginning!
🎨 Font Selection : Nunito For the typography, I opted for the Nunito font from Google Fonts. Its clean and modern look aligns well with Spotify's aesthetic, making it a perfect choice for the overall design of the clone.
🏗️ Structural Setup : Three Main Sections I divided the Spotify interface into three main sections to simplify the layout:
Sidebar : For navigation and playlists.
Content Bar : To showcase the main content like albums, playlists, and artist information.
Music Player : Located at the bottom to provide playback controls and information about the currently playing track. This clear division will help me manage each section independently and ensure a responsive and organized layout.
📚 CSS Learning : Overflow Property While designing, I also took the time to learn about the CSS overflow property. This property is essential for handling content that exceeds the size of its container, keeping the layout clean and scrollable when needed. It’s been a great addition to my CSS skills!
🔲 Arranging the Layout : I created three main <div> elements for the sidebar, content bar, and music player. Each section was carefully arranged according to their sizes to closely resemble Spotify’s layout.
