Thanks for the feedback! Having a skip, but not reject sounds useful.

I have in the roadmap a "don't limit to my area" option!

Also plan to have some sort of inline playable sample on the profile, but haven't figured out the best way to do that - video vs audio vs embedding SoundCloud or YouTube.

A neat idea would be to have “projects.” Each account/profile has a default/personal “project,” meaning a contained instance of matching. But they’re also able to create additional “projects.” So if someone wants to look for a match for a specific project or a new band they can create a new project and swipe across all accounts. Would be cool to set up filters when creating a project, so that the options to swipe are more relevant to the current “project” at hand. Making it easier to find a match

Love this! Bc my various music styles are very different!

> but haven’t figured out the best way to do that...

The best way is whatever the musician has available and is comfortable sharing. Allow any of the embeddings or ability to upload a clip you’ll host. Start with the easiest and ping your subscribers each time you add another one.

TikTok is your top competitor. Your edge aganst it is that you are focused on musicians only. BTW TikTok has swiping down to go to next video, up to go back, left to go to live, and the like, follow, comment etc.

But yeah, "don't limit to area" should be top priority if you want to scale.
