I've implemented this method myself. I feel like this isn't enough, can you give some feedback on this?

@mtshrmn I'd like to see this feature in the official ncspot application!

Hey there, I have added support for category browsing.

The featured playlists seemed very generic and I only received around 10 lists, so not very interesting, which is why I have skipped them for now. @mtshrmn Did you have the same experience?

I don't remember anything about 2 years ago, but it seems to be more than just 10 playlists, it's also consistent over the spotify app on my phone. Looks good to me.

PS. please ignore the weird rtl text, im not running a rtl supported terminal

Hey! Yeah, the categories are fine. But the featured playlist API (which ncspot doesn't use currently) only returned very few playlists when I tested it, which is why I was wondering whether I did something wrong.

Anyway, the category browsing seems to work well and has a lot of content, so it's decent enough I suppose :)

If I remember correctly, it's related to the token that spotify will allow us to generate. They limit a lot of results and the only way to bypass it is by using methods that are against the ToS.

Ah, interesting, thanks for sharing
