Inspiration
Hey Ed Sheeran fan, do you want to flex to your friends that Ed Sheeran gave you a shoutout even though he practically didn't? Well, this is app is for you! We all are Ed Sheeran fans and thought this application would bring joy to all other fans across the globe!
What it does
Users can enter words or lyrics and make Ed Sheeran sing those words/lyrics. After that, they can download and share the song file to their friends (rick rolling them).
How we built it
Ed Sheeran website front-end was built in React.js. The backend is powered by Nodejs/CockcroachDB and deployed to Heroku. The music merge is done via FFMPEG in the Heroku server. Youtube provides Ed Sheeran songs for word choice database.
Challenges we ran into
Finding a song that has the desiring word to create a rick roll song. Manually cropping the sound is a pain :"<
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am so proud that I was able to build a working product, even with the time constraint, for judges to test out(link below).
What we learned
I learned how to use the FFmpeg software, CockroachDB, and Twilio SendGrid.
What's next for Help Ed Sing
I will rickroll ya'all with Adele, Ariana Grande and the Wknd next time. Stay tune!
