Modernized a Marketplace App for Music Lovers to Amplify Experience

About the Client

USA | Music Record Marketplace

Old is gold. This project was all about preserving and offering musical masterpieces and records in their best physical form – CDs, Cassettes, and Vinyl records. With their roots in music, the client envisioned a massive marketplace for global music fans. They wanted to build a database where users could share the history of recorded music.

The idea was to create a platform where worldwide music enthusiasts could buy, sell, and trade physical music (CDs, Cassettes, and Vinyl Records) primarily focused on the US market with 42+ million total visitors. The mobile app has already been awarded the “App of the Week” tag on the App Store.

The client prioritized a React Native mobile app development to target users of both, Android and iOS, and leverage the benefits of cross-platform apps. An app script is written in a single code base that allows users to easily trade their physical music media. This project aimed to establish a worldwide platform and foster a community where users could share and upload their private collections of CDs, cassettes, and vinyl records.
