PPOM
People' Party of Music.
Inspiration
Started off as a Twitter jukebox app that morphed into Tinder for crowdsourcing music at parties!
What it does
Users can create a party and distribute the party name. Party-goers can search for tracks from the humm API and make suggestions to the party playlist, as well as review suggestions from other users by swiping tinder-like cards right (like) or left (reject). Songs which get a certain number of swipe rights are added to the jukebox queue. When the jukebox is running low on suggestions, we plan to use humm's recommendation API to keep the party going!!
