README
Lyricfier is an electron app that communicates with Spotify Desktop Client to get the current song and then looks for a matching lyric scraping the web.
## Download pre-release
Go to [Lyricfier releases page](https://github.com/emilioastarita/lyricfier/releases) and download the zip file for your platform.
## Development setup
```
# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/emilioastarita/lyricfier.git
# change dir
cd lyricfier
# take some coffee and download all the internet with yarn
yarn install
```
## Run dev
```
yarn start
```
## How it works
We retrieve the current song of spotify client using the spotify built-in web server that allow us to ask for the current status of the player.
The built-in web server could run in a range of ports starting at 4370. Lyricfier will launch multiple connections hoping find the actual port.
You can read a more detailed explanation here: [Deconstructing Spotify's built-in HTTP server](http://cgbystrom.com/articles/deconstructing-spotifys-builtin-http-server/)
## Scraping plugins
You can easily write a new scraping plugin. Just look at the folder `render/plugins` for some inspiration.
