A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Spotify has updated the desktop app with plenty of visual improvements and new features, like a “now playing” view that gives you immediate access to merchandise and tour dates.

Such an improvement in my opinion. 90% of the time I am browsing my playlists. Now, instead of getting 20% of the screen space, they get a generous 70% almost! This small change makes me want to use Spotify desktop again.

I have no idea how they came to this decision, or whether I'm in the majority, but it makes me wonder: did they finally start to use the app usage analytics to improve their UX? Like looking at the most used functions in their app.
