The project started as just a weekend project with me and a music producer friend. It has since grown into a community of artists looking to share their music more frequently and engage with their fans more consistently.
We've just launched on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/kaizen-3
We would love any thoughts or feedback!
I think something like this has huge potential if it's aiming to be an actual music collaboration site.
What about music licenses? If you don't add something like "CC BY SA" or similar as options, you likely will end up in DMCA hell before you know it.
As for music licenses, we are seeking out legal advice as how to best approach. I'm hopeful we can land on something as simple as Github licenses.
Bandcamp, for comparison, charges a 15% fee.
We are still early days and will continue to solicit feedback on our pricing model.
Nothing requires an artist to receive tips through the platform, so if they preferred buymeacoffee they can use that. We will be adding additional features to our Pro plan that will enhance the experience on top of bringing the fees to a comparable 5%.
Again, still early days. Appreciate the feedback, we will work with artists on the platform to find what works well for everyone.
