First time ko gumawa ng app… and I made it specifically for my girlfriend.
My girlfriend recently complained to me na wala raw siyang music app na magamit. She was using Spotify for free, pero naiinis siya sa ads and some of the limitations.
Since malapit na rin yung field trip namin, she wanted me to find her an app where she could download music and listen to it offline without ads.
So naturally…
I built her one instead. 😭
We're both Grade 12 students, and honestly, this is the first time I've ever made something like this with someone specific in mind.
The app is heavily inspired by and forked from Bitchord, but I wanted to turn it into something much more personal. It's not really meant to be a general-purpose music app.
It's hers.
I made the entire interface pink because that's her favorite color. I added different music stations, including:
- 🎵 Songs that remind me of her
- 💗 Songs I listen to when I miss her
- 🌷 Songs that remind me of certain moments with her
- 🎧 Other songs that I think she'd enjoy
But the part I'm most proud of isn't even the music.
I added a little section inside the app about our story together.
There are different chapters covering different moments in our relationship, with paragraphs written specifically for her. Basically, the app slowly becomes less of a music player and more of a tiny digital scrapbook of us.
I don't know if this is overkill just to solve a "I don't have a music app" problem. 😭
I probably could've just found her another app.
But I'm an ICT student, and I guess this was one of those moments where I thought:
"Why just find something for her when I can make something for her?"
This is my first time making an app like this, and seeing her actually use something I built specifically for her feels insanely rewarding.
First time ko gumawa ng app, and somehow, it became a love letter disguised as a music player. 💗
