3 years ago - I love the overall spirit, it's neat and comfy ❤️❤️❤️
- About the logo we need to have more feedback, the previous red color was one of the "rec" buttons (🔴), I even chose the exact same border shadow we can find on most DAW :)
- Nothing to say for the listener, the experience seems very amazing
- I think that the next step (that can be done right now if you feel it already, or after moving to this new UX) will be to improve the experience of the musician with social features -> comments, reactions, feedback, sharing tips, detailing the process, etc
- One thing that will come very quickly is the "track attachment" -> a way of sharing .mid files, .txt files, .reason files, etc
- About the affiliate gang, just for your information, it won't be only humans, i.e. "I'm Manfred, this song features @gajeb and was made under the name of my band Camembert au lait crew which is composed of @mxs and @sassou" -> I don't know if you want to mix gang and band projects, but we need to keep the band easily viewable if the metadata is present
- What do you have in mind about the sharing button on top of a track?
- I just understood that the volume slider on the right wasn't about the volume but about the timeline, right? the idea is awesome, maybe you can also use some other well-known visual music tools like VU meters in some places :)
- 👍 to add the affiliate address and see later if it's used (easy to remove if not useful)
- add an indicator on "Open the thread" that says there are some comments
- add a reaction on tracks, because it will be a quick way to give an opinion that can also be used as statistics, so: not only like, more something like GitHub which have 8 emojis
- tags are cool and discrete which is cool because most of the time we voluntarily read them if we're interested to know more; can you add another type of tags that will be generated by the system, i.e. "is a remix of another track", "is featuring someone else"; or maybe, for now, we can mix them with other ones and add an emoji to make them more visible
- note also that one of the goals of SGTM is to run a suite of analysis tools to get as much info as possible; quickly we will have maybe about 15 info to share like the BPM, if there are lyrics or not, the automatically detected emotion, the intensity, etc
- don't forget some links like "open" which is in the footer right now, later we will have also "terms" and other secondary links
- also, since SGTM is new, we need to keep a block with explanations about the project at least on the homepage

Context Yesterday I decided to grab the SGTM topic for my daily (or nighty) UX training session. Dono if it will be useful, but I had fun working on, and I think I will maybe continue!
I decided to experiment some little things I'll have to describe here. I'll try to be clear, but feel free to ping or comment if it's not clear!
Important information, the idea to animate at least to things on upcoming screens :
Let's go : Here is the basic Home when you're not logged yet.
Home (without being member)
Explaination of this screen ⬆️ The idea is to create an experience where the Player is independent from website exploration. ("Don't cut the music each time I click on a new page!")
So, to do it, the idea is to create a constant player on top Header of the site, since the user scrolled a little bit. This is what you see with the white stripe, which appears on top when the user scrolled. Once the portable player is on top, transitions between pages could be fluid without stopping the music.
Stationary Menu
The idea I was exploring is to create 2 "statics things" on the platform : 1) the first is the portable player (which is static once launched with a 1/4 screen scrolled) 2) the Left Menu, which could provide direct access to settings and stuffs (dono what yet ^^)
The content on this Menu is totally invented, but I liked the idea of "gang" which is not really a band, not a "label", not a "group"... Yes, it's maybe strange, or useless. Example: I could create a "Live Gang" for people who love Ableton Live... but I also could create a gang called "New Morning" which could gather every musicians who like/play/listen music @ New Morning (music hall in Paris). It's "open" to use it for 2 people, or for 2000 and that's why I proposed this strange name.
My Profile - Edit Page
I added stuffs from this Issue : [sgtm-club/sgtm] Issue opened: #72 Improve funny placeholders
Add Track Page
Add Track Page "Validated" - Uploading process
Screen : Add Track with a crazy feature : "Affiliate this track to an adress"
It doesn't mean where you live, but you can choose a random place in an Island for a ukulele song, or an industrial building where you had a rave party, for you techno track. I thought it could be fun, maybe not xD
We could imagine create a dedicated page with a big and wonderful map (using Zenly? ^^) where you can just choose track randomly, and discover hidden songs in the sahara desert.
Platform once you scrolled, and you're exploring Timeline of last released tracks.
Thanks for reading. Do not hesitate to give feedbacks, ideas, or whatever you want. Cheers peers, zôÖma
