Remixed nostr:npub1stemstrls4f5plqeqkeq43gtjhtycuqd9w25v5r5z5ygaq2n2sjsd6mul5 by trying to prototype their competitor.

Demo: https://cdn.satellite.earth/b144258f6c0795a4c65d1b56105f858dfad34888bb9b821fe9946926adcfe618.mov

Features:

πŸ‘‰ Player: probably n the roadmap already. Avoids me having to scroll back in the feed to pause songs πŸ˜‰

πŸ‘‰ DVM algorithms: On the current Stemstr I can't filter my feed. Using profile list would be a start, but looking ahead even those filters will just be free DVM's.

πŸ‘‰ More than just Upload: nostr:npub1rlfaaaal29097arpaqflh7x98r8yyc075utazmar3g7kyzfr6wzszhyg5u shows the trend towards bots helping us create demo's from recorded audio or text prompts. This lowers the barrier for any user to become a creator on this app.

πŸ‘‰ More than just Download: On the current Stemstr "remix" actually means "download" and it's hard to keep track of the remix flow. If a download icon means "download", it lets you label the track, it automatically adds it to your local downloads feed and it proposes a payment for the producer (of which Stemstr can take a cut), I think the flow would be clearer. If on top of that, when you upload a track the app asks you whether this a Remix or an Original, it'd be even better. Also the filename should be displayed, so you're not surprised by what is downloading on desktop f.e.

πŸ‘‰ The download action is a very high signal one. I propose you use it. Status in the feed + letting users browse other users downloads on their profile page. Makes cool demo discovery a lot easier.

πŸ‘‰ Launch tracks: A way for finished collabs to be "officially" published on the Wavlake of the world.

πŸ‘‰ Cover Art: you were already on this and the marginal cost of adding/creating images is only going down. The UI should accomdate that, even for demos.

πŸ‘‰ Greyscale UI: less chaotic, room for images to breathe

πŸ‘‰ Show the Stack: A way to visually show that this track had predecessors

nostr:npub1yauhh489aefdkzsewe5vj2u68elzxlsln7nn5yxr34e3c22vljdqkn7h9m hope you get something out of this, Stemstr has a ton of potential.

nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q you’ve give me so much great food for thought here and if you ever find yourself wanting to properly contribute to the design in a more fundamental way or to help Stemstr work with the community to bring these experiences to life, I’d love to work with you to do so!

Some notes below :

Player is such a needed addition! It’s on the roadmap and something we’ve been designing, but it’s awesome to see a fresh approach!

Filtering the feed is a great idea. Would love to understand more about how DVMs can enable this. Discovery and feed management is a big problem to solve right now.

Love the nostr:npub1rlfaaaal29097arpaqflh7x98r8yyc075utazmar3g7kyzfr6wzszhyg5u integration! Bringing prompting into the experience is key to helping to create music more easily and to lower the barrier for who can be a creator.

I love the drawer that pops up on β€œdownload” action. It’s clean and organizes the journey in a very thoughtful manner.

Launched tracks is a very real need and this is a great way of handling this.

Cover art - yes, please. nostr:npub1stemstrls4f5plqeqkeq43gtjhtycuqd9w25v5r5z5ygaq2n2sjsd6mul5 needs to begin to express itself beyond the ears.

The stack is a great metaphor of the history of remixes a track has experienced.

Haha damn, didn't expect you to like so many of these ideas! Great to hear that πŸ€—. I'm open to whatever can fit in the Opensats nostrdesign umbrella. And I prioritise exciting "Other Stuff" apps, which Stemstr definitely is imo.

The idea of DVM filtering would be to:

- for example, filter by Profile Lists (Following, My Bros, Everyone...) but to code it as DVM providing that service

- this doesn't change anything for the user regarding this feature. But it opens up the opportunity for literally anyone else to code up a different way of filtering the feed that then suddenly is available in your app without you doing anything.
