Interested in contributing playlist creation / management (roadmap item)

[SkyeVault]

Hey! I have been using spotatui for a few personal fun projects and I love using it. I saw the recent refactor announcement and the call for contributors.
I've been working on a Rust-based Spotify playlist tool called spotify-playlist-maker that handles OAuth2 authentication via rspotify, song search, and automated playlist creation. It also has CI via GitHub Actions and a test suite.

I noticed "Add songs to a playlist" is listed as a high-priority roadmap item, and issue #116 mentions that removing playlists/tracks isn't working either. The core logic I've built maps pretty directly onto both of those gaps — it's all Rust/rspotify, same stack as spotatui.

My tool has a Tauri GUI layer that obviously wouldn't port over, but the backend playlist and search logic is clean and separable. I'd be happy to adapt it into TUI-compatible commands that fit spotatui's keybinding-driven flow.

A few things I could take a crack at:

• Add track(s) to a playlist from the track/search view
• Create a new playlist from within the TUI
• Remove tracks from a playlist (related to Can't remove playlists/musics/albuns #116)

Happy to start small with a single PR if that's easier to review. Is there a preferred approach for new contributors picking up roadmap items — should I just open a draft PR, or is it better to coordinate here first?

Thanks for keeping this project alive, it's a great tool.

Hey thank you for considering to contribute! Im not that picky on how people contribute, you can just make a PR or whatever is most convenient for you.

There was already some code for manipulation playlists, but it was very basic, make sure to take a loot at it

Thanks for the quick response! I went ahead and opened a PR. The feature adds the Create Playlist flow directly in the TUI (a + Add Playlist entry at the bottom of the playlist panel, two-stage form with track search and selection).

I experienced a couple of issues with the Spotify API returning duplicate items keys in JSON responses, so I included fixes for those as well.

CI is running now, Clippy and Rustfmt needed a pass so I pushed a follow-up commit. Happy to adjust anything based on your feedback!
