A community for street musicians and fans of street music with a responsive design suitable for mobile use. Features include busker artist profiles, audio & video performances, user roles for Buskers and Fans, and public & private discussions. More features are planned. I'll also be looking for feedback regarding what enhancements would be most valued by members once the site has been deployed.
- Buskers: Post artist profiles, post embedded links to video (YouTube) and audio (Soundcloud) streams, request tip payments to associated online payment accounts (e.g. Venmo, Paypal)
- Members: Comment on busker posts (including profiles, videos, and audio clips), and leave tips
- Visitors: Browse busker profiles, read discussions, and play video & audio streams
- Administrators: Can also create discussion topics and moderate any discussion or content
The data model relationships look like this:
- Users have a role of either Busker or Fan
- Users have many discussion Posts and Comments
- Users with the Busker role have one Profile and many Posts, Videos, and Audio clips
- Posts, Videos, and Audio clips have many Comments
- Discussion Topics have many Posts
- Posts belong to Users and Topics
- Comments belong to Users and Posts, Videos, or Audio clips
Input data validation is performed by the ActiveRecord ORM for all user input fields.
