DJ Map

Inspiration

As a college student whenever I go out to parties or events, many times the music makes or breaks the night. A lot of places will play mediocre music and I really wanted a way to request and queue songs. However, in person walking up to the DJ, the venue is loud, packed, and frankly overstimulating, most times the DJ won't hear you or they will forget your request immediately after you leave. I wanted an app/website that could solve this issue.

What it does

DJ's will post events that they will be playing at and users can join events. When users show up in person, they can request/queue songs through the app in real time and it will show up on the DJ's end. Additionally, users can choose to tip DJ's to incentivize their songs to be played. If the DJ chooses to accept the queue it will clear from the list (additionally if there was a tip with the queue then the tip will be transferred only after the song is played/accepted).

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS for the front end and we were using Python/Flask environment for the back end.

Challenges we ran into

Github was a big challenge we ran into, conflicting commits and pulls so most of our time was trying to figure Github out and syncing our local files with the repo.
