Show HN: Spotify Live Banner – Real-Time 'Now Playing' Widget for GitHub READMEs

1•SahooShuvranshu•2h ago
Hello HN,

I built and open-sourced Spotify-Live-Banner, a project designed to embed a dynamic, real-time image of the user's currently playing Spotify song into their online profiles (primarily GitHub READMEs).

*Technical Details:* * Built as a minimalist web service using *Python (Flask)*. * Authenticates via Spotify API to pull live track data. * Dynamically renders a customizable SVG image based on that data. * Configured for easy, free deployment on Vercel.

It's intended as a polished, customizable utility for developers looking to add dynamic content to their profiles.

I'd appreciate any technical feedback on the Flask implementation or the SVG rendering approach.

*Live Demo:* [https://spotify-live-banner.vercel.app](https://spotify-live-banner.vercel.app)

*GitHub Repo:* [https://github.com/SahooShuvranshu/Spotify-Live-Banner](https://github.com/SahooShuvranshu/Spotify-Live-Banner)
