Re: Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform
#42As a PWA on Android this is great! I can share from Spotify and then it opens a Songwhip link to share. Solves a minor problem I have about sharing music links.
Great to hear you're using the PWA share intent. I really haven't promoted this enough :)

Awesome product. Are there any worries that platforms may restrict the APIs that you depend on?
I'm also curious how you're doing this. One of my apps heavily uses the Spotify API and Spotify has started to get very strict on who uses their API and if/how they are allowed to monetize.
I haven't had any issues from Spotify API yet. I've had days where it's been slammed pretty hard. YouTube has the most strict quotas, but you can apply to have them increased which I've done several times.

#44Hey I'm Wilson, I designed and built Songwhip (solo) and continue to work on it fulltime. Happy to answer any questions :)
If you work on this full time, how do you plan to monetize it?
I make a small amount of commission through traffic I send to Apple and Amazon. ATM this just about covers my costs. I'm hoping with scale will come some partnership opportunities and I'm also working on a Pro offering (songwhip.com/pro).

Hi Wilson, this is neat. Thanks for the work. This is a way nicer page than the one Distrokid generates for sharing releases!
Thanks so much, I really hope I can keep up. As a one-man-band I feel a little vulnerable to being trampled by the big boys.

I love the use of human-readable URL's. The ability to cut the song title out and go to the Artist page (for example) is really neat. Nice work Wilson - I'll be using it!
Great, thanks for the kind words! :) I've been working on the project for almost 3 years, so it hasn't been a quick hack by any means. I came from a front-end background and have had to learn the whole stack.

For me, two key things with a product like this matter most (other than accuracy):
1. There is a good preview when the link is shared on networks such as Slack, Twitter etc.
2. It’s fast / low latency, the lower the barrier to sharing with others the better and the less something gets in my way the more likely I am to use it.
Keep up the great work!

#48Would be even better if it had Bandcamp support
Re: Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform
#49Would pay for this if you could customise the links on each platform rather than only have the robot suggestions. While it works fine for 'popular' music, like almost all music platforms and tools it totally sucks for classical music (and I appreciate Songwhip is a free and cool thing, not complaining!). While it'll mostly find the same piece of music on different platforms, often they will be different recordings wh…
If you jump on the waiting list you'll be first to know when Songwhip Pro is available for beta access :)
