SongChat - Music-Based Social Connection Platform
Real-time chat platform that connects music lovers listening to the same song, creating ephemeral conversations tied to shared musical moments.
The Problem
Music streaming platforms lack social features that connect listeners in real-time based on what they're currently playing, missing opportunities for serendipitous connections.
The Solution
Built SongChat using React, Socket.io, and Spotify API integration to create temporary chat rooms that form when two or more users are listening to the same song simultaneously.
