The problem

Music apps are built for listening alone. There was nowhere to post what you have on repeat, build a playlist with friends and argue about it in the same place.

What I built

• Communities with feeds, moderators, announcements and weekly charts from what members are actually playing
• Shared playlists that sync to Apple Music through MusicKit, with comments and suggestions
• Daily music games: Beat of the Day, Mood Grid, Rate the Drop and Battle It Out
• Apple Music account linking with signed developer tokens and encrypted user tokens stored server-side
• Background jobs for charts and catalog sync, deployed with Gunicorn, Celery and systemd

Stack

• Django
• React
• Python
• MusicKit JS
• Apple Music API
• Celery
• MySQL
