Show HN: Maroofy – discover music you'll love, via 30s song clips
2 points| subtech | 3 years ago |maroofy.com
I've built an iOS app called Maroofy (maroofy.com), which lets you find new favorite music by swiping through an infinite mix of 30s song clips.
It originally started out as an AI-based search engine where you could search for songs that sounded similar to any given song: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30051909 -- (btw, I've integrated all of the feedback from that older post into this latest version! :))
But based on early user feedback, I realized that a "discovery-based" UI (using the same AI model) would offer a much better UX than the "search-based" UI that I had built -- which lead me to create this app.
I've been able to find a lot of new favorite songs from my own testing so far, so I thought it would be nice to share it here and let others try it out as well!
Early access: https://airtable.com/shr2t9o35UbHFq5nI
Would love to hear your thoughts & feedback on the app, idea, your music discovery experience, etc.! :D
Note: In order to try Maroofy, you'll need an iPhone w/ TestFlight installed + some public playlist URLs containing songs that you love, so that I can teach the app's AI about your particular music tastes when I create your early-access account! :)
