    I really don’t understand the confusion in this thread; it was immediately apparent to me what the purpose of this tool was after reading the headline, the UI elements are sensible and intuitive, it’s use case is unique and sound (no pun intended). Great job OP, a pretty cool project to have under one’s own belt.

    Hello, I created Synctify to help you sync the drop in a song with the start of the new year or any other noteworthy or casual event. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

    Seems to be broken atm - I tried a few songs and it fails to load them. The Spotify API responds with a 403 "User not registered in the Developer Dashboard"

    I don’t understand what the times mean exactly, e.g.

       0:34
       ———-
       2:16

    Cool to see someone created this finally, have been manually calculating start times for syncing a drop for a long time. Hope you get it back online soon!

    I was expecting a visualization of a drop of water that syncs up with the music by loading two instances of the same song. One to play, the other do analyze.

    Doesn't seem to be working for me. Kind of just a blank screen when I paste in a link.

    i thought this was going to sync lyrics containing a specific time to that time in real life
