Show HN: Jamfound – Democratizing Music Collaboration Through Voting

3 points

8 months ago

As a musician, I was frustrated by online collaboration tools that either had no curation (everything gets mixed together) or were too restrictive (only the creator decides).

So I built Jamfound: a democratic music collaboration platform where the community decides what sounds good.

Here's how it works: 1. Someone uploads a base track (max 30 seconds, WAV) 2. Musicians contribute stems (bass, drums, vocals, etc.) 3. The community votes on their favorite contributions 4. The winning stems are automatically mixed into the final track

It's like a musical version of Reddit's upvoting system, but for audio.

Built with Flask + React, supports high-quality WAV files, includes BPM detection and automatic mixing.

The voting system prevents the chaos of endless revisions while keeping the collaborative spirit alive.
