By default spop-web uses minified versions of css and javascript files. If you are coding some new feature you can serve un-minified files via:
$ gulp dev
This will start the spop-web server at localhost:3000 with live reloading. Now you can modify server or client files and the server restarts or browser reloads automatically on file changes.
If you don't want to install Node / Bower / Gulp on your local machine, you can do all of that in a Docker container:
$ docker build -t spop-web .
$ docker run -ti -p 3000:3000 --net=host --rm spop-web
Then open your browser at localhost:3000.

libspotify is deprecated since May 2015 and projects like spop and spop-web are doomed. Lets hope that the libspotify functionality lives long! Read blog entry Do not use libspotify from Jonas Lundqvist.
We all hope that the deprecated libspotify will playback for a long time.
