## Creating an App with their developer console

https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard

*App* name: Serena
*App description*: open source radio station emulator to get the vibe right
*redirect URI*: 
- Development: http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback
- Production: https://your-domain.com/callback

**Important**: Spotify doesn't accept `localhost` URLs. Use `127.0.0.1` for local development.
