Show HN: I made an app to create Spotify playlists from music festival posters (apps.apple.com)

Hey HN, I'm Brett and I'm an iOS developer.

LineupSupply uses Apple's Vision framework to read text from an image and then the Spotify API to create a playlist using that text. So if you provide a music festival poster, it will grab the artist names from the lineup and make a playlist for that music festival.

Often when going to a music festival I want a playlist to listen to the artists that will be performing. I couldn't find any other service that automates this, so I made one myself.

The app is free to create as many playlists as you want, but does have a one time in-app purchase of $1.99 to unlock additional features (control over how many songs per artist, custom app icons, etc). You do need to login with your Spotify account, but Spotify Premium isn't required.

I made this app with SwiftUI and its available on iOS and iPadOS. You can technically download it on macOS too, but it's a port of the iPad app.




The link I shared goes to the App Store, but there's a demo video in my Tweet thread here - https://twitter.com/brettunhandled/status/156426863694818099...


Does this work with metal festivals?



Great idea! Apple Music please?


Yeah that could happen. I'm a Spotify user so I did that first. I took a quick look when starting and the Discover feature wouldn't work with Apple Music (playlists are private without an api to make them public), but the creating the playlist should be possible


Love this & using it!


lovely idea
