choice

An app where you can anonymously vote to change a playlist or skip songs while at a group listening session or party

Comment

Inspiration

The ability to have everyone engaged in a music based social experience by contributing together ideas and interests. Listen to playlists that the majority will enjoy. Avoid upsetting someone by offending them if you don't like their taste in music (anonymous voting feature)

What it does

Has built in library of music that can be found with search bar (type in artists, songs, genres etc...) If a user does not like a certain playlist, artist, song etc they can vote to skip (anonymously) what is currently playing (MVP version), if the majority also vote to skip then this action takes place If someone suggests a playlist, artist etc in the search bar, a popup appears which asks users if they agree - if the majority agree then the suggested request becomes the current music option

How we built it

Firstly, developed/mind mapped ideas fully using business model template Back end build by linking youtube feature Logo design by graphic designer after thorough consultation and discussion Front end developing following a mock up draft Connecting the back and front ends to finalise the MVP

Challenges we ran into

Building a front end with no experience was a challenge First time using YouTube related database Small team, little time and multiple super interesting ideas (if there was more time a great website could be produced!)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finished the MVP of the app, it looks really cool and works for the time we had been given

What we learned

Integrating YouTube with back end Front end developing skills Dedication!

What's next for choice

If this could be developed with a bigger team, this would be an excellent project, which could potentially change the "social gathering" scene - such as a chilled Friday in the office, going out clubbing, or just hanging out at home with friends - as they say, "music is a piece of art, that goes in the ears and straight to the heart"
