Inspiration

Maestro was inspired by our love for music and the joy of friendly competition. We wanted to create a platform where you and your friends can dive into a music quiz experience that’s both engaging and interactive. Imagine challenging each other to see who has the best music taste, discovering new tracks, and having a blast while competing in real-time. The idea sprung from our passion for music and the fun of trivia games, aiming to bring people together through the universal language of music.

What it does

Maestro offers users a fun and dynamic way to test their music knowledge. Players are presented with a series of interactive quizzes that involve guessing songs and artists based on audio clips and visual cues. The app integrates with music streaming services to provide an immersive experience that challenges players’ familiarity with various music genres and artists.

How we built it

We built Maestro using React Native to ensure a smooth cross-platform mobile experience. The app features real-time music quizzes that pull data and audio from a backend service via WebSocket. To integrate music streaming and data, we utilized the Spotify API, which allows us to access a vast library of songs and artist information. We also employed the Expo Audio library to handle audio playback, ensuring a seamless listening experience. For data management and state handling, we used React hooks and context to keep the app responsive and interactive.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Real-Time Data Handling: Implementing real-time audio streaming and quiz updates posed a challenge, requiring efficient WebSocket communication and state management.
  2. Device Syncing: Synchronizing audio playback across multiple devices in real-time was challenging. It required precise coordination to ensure that all participants experienced the same timing and playback.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. Interactive Experience: Successfully integrating interactive quizzes with real-time music streaming to create a unique and engaging user experience.
  2. Seamless Audio Integration: Achieving smooth audio playback and handling multiple audio sources efficiently.
  3. User Engagement: Designing an intuitive and visually appealing interface that enhances user interaction and enjoyment.

What we learned

  1. Real-Time Communication: Gained valuable insights into managing real-time data and WebSocket integration for dynamic applications.
  2. Design Iteration: Understood the importance of user feedback and iterative design to create an effective and enjoyable user interface.

What's next for Maestro

Looking ahead, we plan to scale Maestro to accommodate more than four players, enhancing the competitive experience for larger groups. We will also focus on deploying the app to app stores, making it accessible to a wider audience. Additionally, we are exploring the possibility of introducing more game modes to keep the experience fresh and engaging. These future updates will aim to expand the app's capabilities, improve scalability, and offer a variety of interactive and fun ways for users to enjoy music quizzes.
