Inspiration
I can never find out what artists like or recommend. Sales are commonly driven by endorsements yet each individual brand is still largely responsible for disseminating that information to fans.
What it does
This app allows artists to curate their own social profile and monetize their endorsements in a centralized location. With integration to brands via referral links and API integrations, the vision is for artists to directly get kickbacks from brands without any middle men. Fans will be able to find a consolidated place to buy products they need across a variety of categories with a seamless e-commerce experience.
How I built it
MeteorJS, Rocket.Chat boilerplate, blood sweat and tears
Challenges I ran into
Time constraints, writing a wrapper for searching MediaNet
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Realtime search with caching. Artists fully able to manage their recommendations with referral links.
What I learned
Move faster, skip things that take too long.
