On December 28th Spotify quietly disabled the ability to create new apps. The only way to get an API key or use the Spotify API is to first create a Spotify App. No announcement or official statement was released when this functionality was pulled. Spotify disabled generating new apps from the developer dashboard. Users started posting in the Spotify Developer community, and no response or communication was given until 2 weeks later.
"We'd like to say that the teams are currently investigating this and new integrations are currently on hold while we make updates to improve reliability and performance. As soon as we've got any other news to share, we'll let you know."
It has now been over a month since app creation has been completely disabled. Because of previous Spotify API changes requiring 250k MAU to publish an app, there are 100s of Spotify integrations that rely on users providing their own API key. I first came across this when trying to integrate my new Stream Deck into Spotify.
With Spotify's continued pattern of degrading their API, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the final nail in the coffin.
No it’s not FSD. There is no navigation at all, you’re correct that it’s “just lane assist”. But the lane assist is next level.
I take a few 1,000 mile plus road trips every year and the comma pays for itself every time. Using the stock lane assist, I’m constantly correcting it. The stock assist tries to take an exit, doesn’t handle curves well at all, and any construction or unusual road conditions it won’t work at all.
With the Comma, on the highway it’s basically FSD. On my last 1000 mile trip I never had to disengage, only to pass and make turns.
The biggest advantage is Comma allows you to be completely hands off the wheel. Where lane assist forces you to hold the wheel at all times.
Founding Sales by Pete Kazanjy is hands down the best book I’ve read on sales. It has a step by step guide on how to implement a sales process in your business.
I keep it on my desk at all times. Whenever I have a sales question I thumb through and it always has the answer.
