ThingPulse esp8266-spotify-remote

Designed specifically for the ThingPulse ESP8266 Color Kit with ILI9341 TFT, making it difficult to adapt to other microcontrollers or displays without significant changes, as noted in the recommended hardware section.

Requires multiple steps including Arduino IDE configuration, library installations, and Spotify API registration, which can be time-consuming and error-prone for newcomers, as outlined in the setup instructions.

Only supports Spotify, so it cannot be easily extended to control other music streaming services without rewriting core functionality, based on the project's purpose statement.

Necessitates manual touchscreen calibration during first run by clicking on white circles, which can be finicky and prone to inaccuracies, as mentioned in the setup steps.
