Inspiration

The inspiration for NeuroBeats came from a universal frustration: spending more time searching for the perfect song than actually enjoying music. During late-night coding sessions, I found myself wasting 20+ minutes scrolling through Spotify, never finding that perfect match for my current mood or activity. I realized that existing music platforms analyze what you've listened to, but they don't understand why you listen to certain music at specific times. What if AI could read between the beats and understand the emotional context behind our musical choices? That's when the vision became clear: create a music platform that doesn't just play songs, but truly understands the listener's soul.

What it does

NeuroBeats is an AI-powered music streaming platform that revolutionizes music discovery through:

Neural Playlist Generation: Uses OpenRouter AI to create personalized playlists based on mood, time of day, activity, and emotional context Voice-First Interaction: Natural language commands like "Hey NeuroBeats, I need music for a late-night coding session" Immersive Audio Visualizations: Real-time visual experiences that dance with your music Smart Context Awareness: Learns your patterns (jazz during work, electronic after 8 PM) Social Music Intelligence: Share not just playlists, but the AI reasoning behind them Progressive Web App: Install once, enjoy everywhere - online or offline Accessibility-First Design: Full keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and adaptive interfaces

The platform integrates with Deezer API for music data and streaming, while Supabase handles authentication, user profiles, and playlist storage.

How we built it

Tech Stack:

Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite for blazing-fast performance Styling: Tailwind CSS with custom glassmorphism design Animation: Framer Motion for smooth, magical interactions State Management: Zustand for lightweight, scalable state handling AI Integration: OpenRouter API for intelligent music curation Backend: Supabase for auth, database, and real-time features Music API: Deezer API for tracks, artists, and streaming Audio Processing: Web Audio API for real-time visualizations PWA: Workbox for service workers and offline functionality

Development Process:

Foundation: Built React + TypeScript foundation with modern tooling AI Brain: Developed neural playlist algorithms with prompt engineering UI/UX: Created futuristic interface with glassmorphism and animations Audio Features: Implemented real-time visualizations and voice commands Production: Added testing, monitoring, CI/CD, and deployment

Challenges we ran into

OAuth Authentication Nightmare: Supabase OAuth kept returning DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN errors. After hours of debugging, discovered it was incorrect environment variable configuration - the URL needed to be the actual project URL, not a placeholder. Now I Use Clerk for Autentication. AI Prompt Engineering Complexity: Getting AI to generate truly personalized, coherent playlists was incredibly challenging. Took 50+ iterations to develop a multi-layered prompt system that considers user history, context, and emotional state. Real-time Audio Performance: Audio visualizations were causing frame drops on mobile devices. Solved by implementing Web Workers for audio processing and optimizing animations with RequestAnimationFrame throttling. Cross-browser Audio Compatibility: Web Audio API behaves differently across browsers, especially Safari. Built a comprehensive audio abstraction layer with fallbacks and polyfills. State Management Complexity: Managing audio state, user preferences, playlists, and AI responses became unwieldy. Migrated from useState chaos to well-organized Zustand stores.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Sub-2s Load Time: Achieved through advanced code splitting and caching strategies 95% Test Coverage: Comprehensive testing suite with Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright Production-Ready Architecture: Complete CI/CD pipeline, error monitoring, and analytics Accessibility Excellence: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance with full keyboard navigation 60fps Audio Visualizations: Smooth real-time graphics across all devices AI-Powered Innovation: Successfully created contextual, mood-based playlist generation PWA Excellence: Offline functionality, background sync, and native-like experience Modern Development Standards: TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, and comprehensive documentation

What we learned

AI Integration Mastery: Learned to craft sophisticated prompts for meaningful music recommendations and integrate AI seamlessly into user workflows. Modern React Ecosystem: Mastered React 18 concurrent features, TypeScript at scale, and modern state management with Zustand. Audio Technology: Deep-dived into Web Audio API, real-time visualizations, and cross-browser audio compatibility. Production Excellence: Gained experience with comprehensive testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and performance optimization. User Experience Design: Understood the importance of making complex technology feel magical and invisible to users. Problem-Solving Persistence: Learned that the best solutions often come after multiple iterations and creative approaches to technical challenges.

What's next for NeuroBeats

Biometric Integration: Heart rate and stress level monitoring for even more personalized playlist generation. Social Features: Real-time listening rooms where friends can share AI-curated experiences together. Voice Music Creation: Allow users to hum or describe musical ideas that AI transforms into actual compositions. Smart Home Integration: Connect with IoT devices to automatically adjust music based on room ambiance, lighting, and activity. Advanced AI Models: Implement more sophisticated neural networks for deeper music understanding and prediction. Mobile Native Apps: Expand beyond PWA to native iOS and Android applications with platform-specific features. Music Discovery API: Open our AI curation engine as an API for other developers and platforms. NeuroBeats represents the future of music discovery - where artificial intelligence meets human emotion to create truly personalized audio experiences. The neural revolution in music has just begun.
