appo-music's Issues

Readme for backend?

Hi there, first well done for the great work. I was looking at the site you have built and think it would be great for a music project I want to try and build. I have some music files, music art images, on S3 storage on AWS. I was wondering would it be possible that this would be able to be hosted on AWS with the Backend so I could play the files from their. I haven't used Ruby on Rails as a backend before so am unsure if its even possible. I'm just starting with React and React Native currently. I'm still in college learning cloud and the various languages and methods associated with deploying content.
