- Note that all playback is audio only (for now)
- Local playlist management
- Stored in-browser with IndexedDB
- Can save songs individually under 'Favorites'
- Peer-to-Peer data synchronization (using WebRTC)
- Group Sessions
- Achieved using a WebRTC mesh
- Uses a custom wrapper around the YouTube Music API
...and so much more!

Donations of any amount are very much appreciated, so thank you if you choose to donate!

Docker
Note: Still figuring out how to use Docker! Got a suggestion? Open an issue, thanks!
docker-compose (production)
The quickest way to host a Beatbump instance is with Docker. Once you have it installed, you can run:
docker-compose up
The app will now be accessible from https://localhost:443 / http://localhost:3000.
docker-compose (development)
(More details coming soon!)
Documentation
You can find (temporary, incomplete, and in-progress) API documentation here: https://beatbump-docs.vercel.app/
It's recommended (and appreciated) to host your own instance of Beatbump for public projects that want to use the data -- especially if you anticipate you will be making a large amount of requests. Thanks!
