Show HN: Strava for Musicians (musolink.com)
2 points by mattfrasernz 7 months ago | hide | past | favorite
I have been working on a new app to help musicians get motivated to practice. Think Strava, but for musicians.

The challenge with music practice is that it's invisible. It's incredibly easy to skip a day because 'nobody will know'. I have seen countless talented musicians stop enjoying their instrument and ultimately stop playing entirely due to this phenomenon.

MusoLink solves the problem by making your practice visible and social.

In my day job, I manage software engineering teams, and in my spare time I run Australia's top pipe band. After using Strava to help get ready for a marathon, I realised something similar would be incredibly useful for the band. I couldn't find anything so I started coding each night in front of the TV once the kids are in bed. This is the result!

I have had around 20-30 musicians each day helping me test and give feedback, but I'm ready to open it up to the world now! Already, a school has used it to prepare for a World Championship - which they won! And several users have won prestigious competitions.
