What if your music server had a social network attached, and your social network could play music?
This seems really cool! I’m tempted to use it to share my music production library with my friend/co-producer and also host samples through there!
Vibe-coded?
Not really. Tests, architecture documents, commit messages, changelog and various boilerplate like data model classes or styles benefited from AI tools (it’d take years otherwise for a single developer to build a product like this). But the core functionalities have been hand-coded, if you exclude the occasional Copilot/Windsurf autocompletion.
link does not seem to work. No resolution.
Funkwhale is pretty neat and has been around for a while. https://www.funkwhale.audio/
The blog link was down for a couple of hours some days ago, it’s back online since then. I know Funkwhale very well and I used to run my instance before. But there are too many gaps that left me unsatisfied - ActivityPub integration is very minimal and only limited to collections, implementation of the Subsonic API has also many gaps, no streaming over custom HTTP mountpoints or Icecast, no listening stats, no support for external libraries/sources, and most importantly no built-in support for payments (which is the reason why most of the musicians who try to make a living out of it are still on a bad platform like Bandcamp).
