Feature Request: Sync album art as Profile Picture

[jesse-chelin]

Story:

As a user, I want to sync the currently now playing song as my profile picture, so that my status and profile picture reflect the song I am listening to on slack.

In scope

• Use Get Track to retrieve the currently playing songs artwork from Spotify
  • https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-track
• Set the slack profile picture, using users.setPhoto API provided by slack
  • https://api.slack.com/methods/users.setPhoto
• Allow a user to decide if they want their slack photo synced or not
• When a song is no longer playing, change the slack photo back to the original before it was changed.

hey @jesse-chelin, thanks for the idea. I never thought of this. I will look into it. At the moment the app is suffering due to Spotify's request throttling. They don't support batch requests and requesting the currently playing track for a couple thousand users gets rate limited. I believe the feature can be implemented without extra call to Spotify since artwork is returned with the current track. If you don't want to wait, pull requests are welcome
