we:fm was a social music platform where people can start a music room just by playing a song. Once they started playing a song in the app, their friends would be notified to tune-in and listen to the same song at the same time, perfectly in-sync.

The biggest challenge for we:fm was designing a social layer into a music player mechanic that was consistent across operating systems and devices: all music players look the same (cover art + playback controls). Since this mechanic was the obvious, familiar and ubiquitous starting point for people listening to music on their devices, we started there and designed the social layer into it.

This was a side project I worked on in college. nonetheless we:fm was selected by Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) as a finalist in their music startup competition.
