Inspiration
Terrible DJs (specifically at DoCSoc bar nights) - they don't play the Macarena :'(
What it does
You can either create a party or join a party. Once you've joined, you instantly become a speaker for the party.
You may upvote songs on the current song queue, or add any song from YouTube to the queue.
Songs at the top of the queue are chosen to be played.
How we built it
Using NodeJS and VueJS, Socket.IO, MongoDB, Timesync and Surge.sh.
Challenges we ran into
Syncing everything to be played at the same time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Working with technologies we hadn't used before and getting the synchronisation very close to perfect.
What we learned
Don't use NodeJS. Syncing is difficult.
What's next for BOOMBox
