Inspiration

With modern music streaming/playlisting, we lost a lot of the intentionally chosen context around albums and custom mixtapes.

What it does

We hope to bring some of that context back. Users can place pins associated with a song in the world. Users then experience the songs around them as they explore, with the nearest songs smoothly transitioning between each other. Through this, we create a dynamic spatial audio experience.

How we built it

TypeScript, React Native with Expo, Convex Database

Challenges we ran into

Dev building Expo to mobile, Convex usage limits, Mobile location service inaccuracies

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Audio crossfading, location services, and real-time synchronized pin uploads

What we learned

Building with React Native and Expo, how to integrate mapping, Convex DB

What's next for The Music Around You

Integration with authentication, song recommendations, custom mapping, and a pin curation system with social features/upvoting
