Yes, it drew a lot of inspiration from Bandcamp and SoundCloud, but nowadays we are focusing on developing our own features.

I'm working on Rauversion https://github.com/rauversion/rauversion, an open platform for independent music communities that combines music publishing, events, and marketplace tools in a single place. Artists can upload tracks, albums, and playlists with metadata, audio processing (waveforms, analysis), and embeddable players with chunk-range loading to save bandwidth. It also includes ticketing for events (QR validation, Stripe payouts), streaming integrations (Twitch, Zoom, etc.), a magazine system for publishing articles, and a marketplace to sell music (digital or physical), gear, merch, and services. The goal is to give underground scenes a self-hosted infrastructure for releasing music, organizing events, and sustaining their communities.

Hey everyone! We're excited to announce the latest version of Rauversion after nearly 2 years of development. So much has happened since our last update!

What is Rauversion? Rauversion is an open-source platform for music streaming that lets artists and communities create their own music ecosystems. We call these music multiverses :). Our vision is to empower musicians and managers with new ways to promote and monetize their work, building their own musical spaces with a different logic than depending on a handful of music monopolies.

Event Ticketing: Sell tickets to your shows and performances

Multi-Record Label Support: Host multiple labels under one platform

Our Journey We've been piloting this idea within our local electronic music community in Chile. We've even released several vinyl records from our own Rauversion Label! It's been incredibly fun, but we've also been working hard to professionalize the platform. We're now really close to being truly satisfied with the results.

Why Rauversion? Our whole vision is to offer alternatives to the current music industry model. We want to give everyone the power to have their own music business and to approach limited catalogs with their own editorial vision.

We're open-source because we believe in community-driven development and want to create a platform that serves creators first.

Let us know what you think! We're always looking for feedback and contributors.

Both frontend and backend development come with their own challenges. However, I believe the industry has been grappling with unnecessary complexity for at least the past decade. Take React as an example: it's a library developed by Meta, which boasts a massive team of developers. But before tools like React, and even before Backbone, there wasn't a clear distinction between frontend and backend in web development.

This division is relatively new and, in many ways, has given rise to new challenges and job roles. Gone are the days when we were all considered full-stack developers, working seamlessly across layers of a web application. In reality, web development should be viewed holistically, even though there are multiple layers to it. The final product is singular and unified.

It's possible to simplify frontend development by selecting appropriate tools. For example, a combination of Rails with Hotwire and Stimulus, or similar setups in other frameworks, can make the process more straightforward.

An alternative made on Elixir/Phoenix https://github.com/rauversion/rauversion-phx , it's also well suited for music communities and event streaming.

Hello, I've just released a music platform similar to Soundcloud. It's open source and is made with Elixir/Phoenix.

The app is lightweight and can easily fit on a small machine (512RAM or so).

Check it out, and if you like it, please give us a star on Github

This is happening in the driest desert in the world, this is a simpler but effective technique to get water out of the desert fog https://youtu.be/w5cBSORuB6w?t=35

I've been following Esteban's project recently, I like the product very much it's really handy to give context on what we do on daily basis (coding in my case :D). Build in the open is the way to go, best of lucks to the watermelon team!

Thanks!. Yes, in Chaskiq you have conversations like Tickets. You can tag them and assign them to the right agent (manually or automatically). You can also create your own plugins to extend the features.

I think the Zendesk article forgot us, take a look at a truly open source solution for CRM with live chat, knowledge base, video calls, API integrations, product tours, newsletters and more. https://github.com/chaskiq/chaskiq

https://chaskiq.io - a feature complete alternative to Intercom ( https://github.com/chaskiq/chaskiq )

If you are looking for an integrated solution with many other features than only chat to build your support/sales/marketing pipeline take a look at https://github.com/chaskiq/chaskiq

And agree with you, being on development of a chat solution over the last two years I've realize that the AI sucks big time for chatbots no matter how hard we try they will never have the human touch. that's why I have avoided the NLP integration as much as I can. This lack of human touch is the reality of any chatbot that does NLP, sentiments analisis, etc.. they simply fail. I have tried xatkit and I could not establish a proper dialog either.

In that sense I've implemented in chaskiq some sort of path selector / decisional steps that you can compose for further routing assignment to human agents, and that works very well.

Thanks agustif! Chaskiq is made with a lots of love, so yeah, I think it's pretty gold :D

Very interesting project. if you are looking for a 1:1 solution for video calls that you can embed on websites (to give support or to assist sales), take a look at https://github.com/chaskiq/chaskiq , it also has similar features found at Intercom or Drift

Thanks, no need to apologize Steve, I've seen similar feedbacks like this, some people just does not get what is this about, and I had to explain to them that this app is for chat support, and only then they get the picture. But, I've not seen this kind of comment of people from Tech. Anyways, I'm going to take this as a constructive comment and I will rework the Jargon to be more straight to the point.

thanks for taking the time to comment on this project

Thanks sansnomme. Yeah, we definitely should, I'm quite aware of the project, luckly both projects are implementing slightly different aproaches. so the community will benefit on both.
