I'm excited to share a project I've been working on — <strong><a href="https://sirenmix.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">SirenMix</a></strong>, a music cloud storage platform designed specifically for DJs and music creators.</p> <h2> The Problem </h2> <p>As a developer who also dabbles in DJing, I noticed that existing cloud storage solutions aren't great for managing music libraries. They don't support lossless audio playback, lack music-specific organization features, and often compress files in ways that degrade audio quality.</p> <h2> What is SirenMix? </h2> <p>SirenMix is a cloud drive built from the ground up for music files. Here's what makes it different:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Multi-format support</strong>: MP3, WAV, FLAC, and M4A — all with native in-browser playback</li> <li> <strong>Built-in music player</strong>: Stream your tracks directly from the cloud with a full-featured player</li> <li> <strong>DJ-friendly organization</strong>: Organize your sets, crates, and collections the way you think about music</li> <li> <strong>Lossless quality</strong>: No compression, no quality loss — your WAV and FLAC files stay pristine</li> <li> <strong>5GB free tier</strong>: Get started without paying a cent</li> </ul> <h2> The Tech Stack </h2> <p>For the tech-curious among you, here's what powers SirenMix:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend</strong>: SvelteKit 5 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS</li> <li> <strong>Backend</strong>: Rust (Axum framework) with PostgreSQL</li> <li> <strong>Architecture</strong>: Clean Architecture with domain-driven design</li> <li> <strong>Audio</strong>: FFmpeg WASM for client-side audio processing</li> <li> <strong>i18n</strong>: Full English and Chinese language support</li> </ul> <h2> Try It Out </h2> <p>I'd love for you to give it a spin and share your feedback:</p> <p>👉 <strong><a href="https://sirenmix.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://sirenmix.com</a></strong></p> <p>Whether you're a DJ, producer, or just someone with a large music collection — I think you'll find SirenMix useful. The free tier gives you 5GB to test it out.</p> <p>Let me know what you think in the comments! I'm happy to answer any questions about the tech stack or the product itself.</p> webdev showdev javascript opensource
