Vinyl Viewer is a TypeScript/React application designed to emulate the record-collecting experience. A user can search for an artist, browse an artist's albums, and view information on each album. Users can then select an album to see more details and choose to save it to their virtual "collection." From the user's collection view, albums can be viewed, filtered by artist or album name, or removed from the collection. The project also includes a Cypress acceptance test suite.

For this project, our fully-remote team of four was tasked with self-teaching and using TypeScript to collaborate on a React application in one week. After coming up with a concept and finding Last.fm's Music Discovery API, we designed the component architecture and UI wireframe by implementing user stories. One of the main experiences we focused on was virtually recreating the feeling of flipping through records at a record store.
