Hey HN!

Excited to show a project called Bopping that makes it effortless to share the music your enjoying on X (Twitter).

Bopping connects to both your Spotify and X (Twitter) accounts, tracks your listening activity, and automatically tweets out your top 3 tracks every day (timeframe adjustable in settings).

When it knows an artists handle, it will tag that artist in the tweet, which has resulted in some nice artist/fan interactions. I often get artists retweeting or liking my tweets which feels very cool.

It's been fun to see the tweets from the small group of people using it on my timeline. Would love for you to give it a try. Excited to hear feedback and see what tracks everyone’s vibing to.

You can see some other bops here: https://x.com/search?q=I%27m%20%40bopping_to&src=typed_query...

All bops are also added into a (rather eclectic) playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5bXlqMaUBEcwN8lP5CEZbN?si=...

Maybe I'm getting old (and cynical?) but if somebody started tweeting what they're listening to each day I'm probably unfollowing that person.

LastFM do the solution a lot better where you can have friends on a music specific network and see what everybody is listening to at your own leisure.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    For me, the unique thing about Bopping is that it creates a chance for direct interaction with the artists through tagged tweets. I've seen fans get genuinely excited when an artist likes/retweets/replies to their Bopping tweet. It adds a nice layer of connection between listeners and creators.

    Personally, I also find that having the Bopping tweets show up in my feed is a nice way to keep up with friends' music tastes without needing to remember to check a separate app. It's more of a casual, passive way to get those updates while I’m already scrolling.

    Appreciate the perspective though, and thanks for checking it out!
