# Music WIP sharing platform - brief

### Background
My musician friends and I have a Discord channel where we share our progress, give feedback, and motivate each other. We'd like to create a platform where we can do this in a more structured way, and where other like-minded people can also participate.

Currently focused on music, but potentially expandable into other forms of art and activities.

## Target audience

Music creators who want to get feedback from other musicians and give some feedback themselves.

## Similarities and differences from other platforms

**Soundcloud** - music sharing; it's focused on the song, the final product; communication between artist and fans.
Here: 

* the focus will be on the artist and the process (work in progress, behind the scene)
* communication between the artists, feedback, advices

**wip.chat** - people set goals, share their WIPs, encourage each other.
Here:

* Tools that are more tuned to sharing audio
* Freeform progress sharing instead of specific goals that need to be fulfilled

------

## Specific features to implement

* Uploading and playing audio
* Comments and reactions to the posts?
* Site-wide feed that can be filtered? (like tags="need_review", comments="<2"), to help out people; or "comments >20" to find hot posts and discover new people.
* Following people, adding to friends, some kind of "bookmarking"
* Come to think of it, maybe bookmarking the specific posts?
* Ability to set "streak goals" for oneself, so that the streaks are counted only when the person is up for it? Or some other kind of non-obligatory challenge.
