Hawk

Description

You can specify a duration (for example, "5:32"), and Hawk will find a song in your Spotify library with that length, and with a single click you can start playing that song.

The name Hawk comes from the movie Hudson Hawk, where Bruce Willis sings songs of particular lengths in order to time things.

Yeah, it's weird, but I was also wondering what it would take to make this. This project ended up taking just two days, and the core functionality was working in the first few hours. Check out the git history to see how this thing evolved.

I'm pretty happy with the result, but it definitely needs a designer's touch. Pull requests are welcome!
