In this DEVCommunity article, I share my experiences creating a microfrontend web app with Blazor and Piral. I also give a little behind-the-scenes look at how this was made possible.
About
First of all, let’s discuss the demo application that I created to showcase the use of Blazor with Piral: Spiralfy. A clever – or some would say cheesy – play on words between Spotify and Piral, of course. But what does it do?

For a long time now, I wanted a way to shuffle play my playlists. I’m not talking about shuffling the songs within one playlist, that’s something you can obviously already do. The feature I wanted could be described as “swiping through playlists”: Spiralfy picks one playlist at random, shuffle playing its songs, and whenever you feel like you want a different vibe, you let Spiralfy pick a new playlist to listen to.
(I got inspired in part by lofi.cafe, where you can switch through curated lofi playlists like they were radio stations. But I wanted the user to be able to use their own Spotify playlists instead.)
