Could you develop a feature to see who follows my playlists?

[DiegoRomario]

It'd be nice to know about the people who follow my playlists

Is this possible though?

hey @mathkruger

was looking at this but it seems like there is no actual way to develop who as in user follow we just get a number of followers through the API,
someone suggested on their forum and they said it's not important for now
Playlists-View-all-Playlist-Followers

to get the follower total number it's in spotify API link

but it seems like it already exist on code

 {{ playlist.followers.total | numberLocale:this.translateService.currentLang }} <span style="text-transform: lowercase;">{{ playlist.followers.total > 1 || playlist.followers.total == 0 ? ('MusicListFollowersPlural' | translate) : ('MusicListFollowers' | translate) }}</span>

but i found that spotify does offer the api where it can check if the "specific" user is following the playlist from spotify API link

so the conclustion is that this can be open but its not gonna be working untill the spotify add the data itself , i would suggest to close it and reopen later when the release with the support comes

@DevIos01 Actually I was thinking to create a server side for Litefy, to keep track of some things and the playlist followers. Of course it would only work for Litefy users, but it will add the oportunity to add more features to Litefy that the official player does not have. That's why I'm keeping this issue open, just to remind me lol

Ah yes I had this on my mind also regarding if we make our own community style and we can use the api I mention to check if the user we have on our community exist on the Playlist the user made , cool idea and yea there more potential on future regarding that

heya was just going through this issue and the idea of playlist follower seems really good as another service in the backend itself and if that's the thing we want I would love to create that feature and contribute to the same
