Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While designing
A one-tap Liked Songs toggle that stays in sync.
💡 Overview
Good songs show up at inconvenient times. Changing a track in the middle of a layout shouldn't require leaving your design file.
The popup includes a heart toggle that mirrors your Liked Songs state on the Web Player. Tap it, or press L inside the popup, to like or unlike the current track. The change is reflected immediately, so you can save a song and carry on without ever opening the Spotify tab.
🧭 A Day of UI and Graphic Designers
Design tools want the whole canvas, and switching windows breaks the pixel-level focus you build up.
The problem: Changing a track in the middle of a layout shouldn't require leaving your design file.
The fix: Park the mini-player in the toolbar popup and use the volume scroll wheel to duck music during client calls.
🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Hear a song you want to keep.
- Open the popup and tap the heart, or press L.
