To create a fun online representation of a Jukebox via a DApp
Continuously plays songs (youtube videos), that other people have paid to be played on the DApp. Anyone can pay to add their own song/video added to the queue. Everyone on the DApp listens to the same song around the world, the playlist curated collectively by random people around the world!
How we built it
Using truffle, ganache for the boilerplate and easy initial setup; Solidity for Smart contract; React and Web3 for the front end. Built YT Search functionality on the page for users to be able to search and select the song without leaving the DApp
Challenges we ran into
While trying to use Connext for off-chain micro-payments - setting up and integrating it consumed a lot of time, but we still could not hook it up end to end
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our super-slick and intuitive front-end build using React, with our custom Youtube Search and Playlist Queue! And synchronously playing the same song at the same exact time for everyone using the DApp Live on Rospten!!!
What we learned
Limitations of getting current time info on Blockchain and the tradeoffs for synchronizing across clients
What's next for Ether Jukebox
Multiple governance models, upvotes, downvotes, and hopefully payment channels!
