Overview
A static music-player interface inspired by Spotify. The inspected implementation uses HTML, CSS, local cover images, and icons to compose a sidebar, browsing area, and persistent player strip.

The problem & goal
Organize several layers of navigation and music discovery within a single-screen interface while maintaining a clear hierarchy.
Technical structure
One HTML entry point and one custom stylesheet. Flexbox arranges the sidebar, content area, and player. The source loads Montserrat and Font Awesome externally. There is no JavaScript playback engine or backend in the inspected project.
What the source contains
- Sidebar navigation and library prompts
- Recently played, trending, and featured chart sections
- Persistent player layout with range-input controls
- CSS hover states and a breakpoint for secondary navigation
Current status & boundaries
The controls are visual UI elements; audio playback, search, playlist persistence, and Spotify API integration are not implemented in the inspected source. Full mobile responsiveness is not established. No live demo is claimed.
Challenges & next steps
Potential improvements include accessible control names, intentional mobile layouts, a real playback model, and keyboard testing. These are source-review recommendations, not claims about prior personal experience.
