Interviewing again

i interviewed ed again and i managed to understand better his tastes and preferences

he normally uses spotify, pitchfork, fakediy, soUnDCloUD anD rotten toMatoes

he takes into consideration users feedback and ratings by esteemed people and influencers

the app should be:

visually clear,

fun to use,
