Music is magic! Yet, many people don't know how to play an instrument. This website provides all the necessary instruments and tools!

☁️ Inspiration

As fellow musicians and hackers, we were inspired to make a platform where people could connect over music. So many people don't have access to instruments, or can't play with others, and this platform allows them to do both.

📓 What It Does

The website consists of six different instruments that users can play on, consisting of the piano, drums, violin, flute, trumpet and xylophone. The website also has a Twilio feature which asks the user which instrument they would want to play. It also uses Twilio for the dial-in to listen feature, which is where anyone can call the bot, enter their concert number, and listen in. For the coins/reward system, CockroachDB is used.

🔨 How We Built It

We built both the frontend and backend on Replit. While the frontend was made using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the back end was made using Python. We made a chat and call using Twlio and a coinbase using CockroachDB, where the more you use the instruments, the more coins you receive.

👨🏾‍💻 Challenges We Ran Into

The instruments were definitely the most challenging part of our website. We originally wanted to implement violin and flute into our website, but we were having trouble with them, so we decided to scrap them and implement bongos and a karaoke machine instead. On top of coding issues, we were all in different time zones (one PST, one EST, and two IST members), so communicating/meeting was a challenge.

🎉 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

We are proud that we were able to build a working website within 48 hours, despite two of us having school on the first day. This project was huge, with many components, and with our busy high school/college work, it was challenging to finish. We learned time and code management. For the domain, we ran across many issues with the DNS Records, but finally fixed all of them.

📙 What We Learned

Shivani learnt how to make JavaScript instruments. Utsav learnt how to use CockroachDB, totally from scratch. Sarvesh learned how to make awesome websites with Bootstrap. Hardik helped out everywhere, but most importantly made a very good video!
