About The Project

Motifs is a web application where musicians can post ephemeral music. Posts on Motifs are automatically deleted within 24 hours of creation. Users are allowed to bookmark posts while they’re still live and follow their favorite creators. Options for permanent uploads and in app music purchasing are in the works.

Like counts and play counts are kept hidden to create an environment that is more focused on the music than the metrics. We believe musicians shouldn't judge the worth of their art via numbers and graphs!

motifs-deploy's Issues

Create user profile pages

Create page for displaying a single post

Create user settings page

Backend needs:

• Endpoints for updating user data like username, email, password etc
• Endpoint for deleting profile

Error Handling / Form Validation

Login, Signup and upload forms need to provide the user feedback when the fill in the fields incorrectly.

Secure profile creation

We should be verifying the emails used to created a profile are valid and impose rules for passwords.

Create button to share links to post

Posts should have a button that when pressed copies the link to their individual post page to the user's clipboard.

Add color coding for posts

• Add an option to selecting a color that matches the mood of your song for future user sorting
