Do you enjoy writing lyrics, but struggle with writer's block?
Or maybe you just want to write lyrics faster?
Then Lazy Lyrics is the app for you!
Enter a word, and get back a lyric snippet from a real song.
• Lazy Lyrics uses the Musixmatch API to grab lyric snippets based on text input.
• Due to API method parameter and data limitations, this process must be done in two separate API calls.
• When you submit a word, an API call is made from the Lazy Lyrics server (built on express) to the Musixmatch API.
• Information including artist, song title, and track ID are returned.
• The track ID is then used to make a second Musixmatch API call to grab the lyric snippet.
• Lazy lyrics generates a random index and random page number for each submission to provide ~100 different results for the same word.
As this app is currently for personal use (not financed 🤷♂️), it is subject to Musixmatch API daily data limits. If you submit a word and nothing is returned, the data limit has been reached for that day and you can try again tomorrow.
• Type in a word.
• Get back a lyric, in addition to the song title, artist, and your prompt.
• Hover over a lyric to delete it.
• On a mobile device, select a lyric to view the song info and delete option.
• The "Copy All" button copies all of your lyrics to your clipboard.
• The "Delete All" button deletes all of your lyrics.
• The "Question Mark" button opens a sidebar that contains information about Lazy Lyrics.
• The Moon/Sun button switches the app colors to Dark/Light mode.
• The "GitHub" button links to this repository.
