Hi there, Product Hunters! 😍 I'm Anton, co-founder of MUBR, and I'm thrilled to announce our public launch to you! My friends and I have always been curious about what's playing in other people's headphones, what makes their hearts beat faster, and what they listen to when they are feeling down πŸ˜” Asking someone directly about their music preferences often doesn't reveal the whole truth. πŸ₯² That's why we decided to create MUBR – an app that has taken our friendships to a new level! Now, we truly know and understand the music our friends enjoy. It's astonishing how this app has brought us closer together. πŸ₯Ή Over the past 11 months, while developing the app, 1.8 million people worldwide have already used MUBR πŸ”₯ Today, we are excited to share our creation with you, eager to hear your feedback and ideas for future product development. Please go easy on us! πŸ˜ƒ We are a small team of just three people, bootstrapping our way through this journey πŸ˜… Here are some cool things you can do with the MUBR app πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ 🎧 Discover your friends' recently played tracks and playlists from Apple Music and Spotify πŸ‘€ Install a music widget on your home and lock screens to receive track updates from your friends πŸ’© React to your friends' listened tracks πŸ”Ž Find new tracks using a personalized feed, similar to the Tinder experience πŸ“Š Create your own MUBR pie chart, showing your most-listened-to artists and genres. Our users love sharing it on social networks! But we don't plan to stop at just music. Once every teenager has the MUBR app on their phone, we'll expand to new platforms like YouTube, Discord, Twitch, and others. Our goal is to create a new social network where people can freely share their interests! πŸš€ Our app is free for everyone to try, you can get it both for iOS and Android. We welcome your feedback. And thank you for your support! ❀️

Woah! Crazy to see this here @ponikarovskii ! I just happen to download this last week and test it. (I think I saw it in Tiktok? Great ads/UGC!!!!) I see you are looking for feedback - I have stopped using it since. Had a few roadblocks/concerns. - Most importantly/Reason I uninstalled - It sent me 2-3 notifications before I even really started use. I uninstalled after the 3rd. (It is an immediate signal that an app does not care about my attention or quality of life. Sorry for the harshness, but just needed to be frank.) - Getting friends onboarded was a bit tough. I found myself concerned with the requests for permissions during onboarding. (E.g. I am not sure how my listening data is secure/private. I was concerned it would be sold.) - It didn't have Youtube Music by my recollection, but I understand platform limits. Would love to have it. - The onboarding screens left a bit to be desired. I think they could be shorter, personally. Sorry again for the harshness, I promise it comes from wanting to see this product win. I really really love the product, and would love to download it again, just had those concerns. Congrats on your launch! Wishing your team success.

@esus Hey! Thanks for your support! I'm happy to see you here today! β€οΈπŸ™πŸΌ That's great feedback! Thanks for reaching out to us! YouTube Music - coming soon in the nearest future! Regarding onboarding and getting friends onboarded - yes, that's also on our to-do list as we've received a lot of feedback from users. We want to fix everything and make it great! 😍 Hope we will raise funds soon so we can expand our team to speed up development! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Thank you for your feedback, Esus! Once again, I'm happy to have you here today! If you have any other ideas or thoughts, always feel free to reach out to us. ❀️

@ponikarovskii Sweet! Are there any plans on Notification changes? Considering a re-download. Thanks for the answers! Looking forward to YouTube Music!
Anton Ponikarovskii
@esus we had some experiments with notifications, but not all of them were successful. I believe the number of useless push notifications will decrease with time! πŸ‘€ Together with that, notifications are an important part of our product, so if you have any thoughts on what would be helpful for you - let us know!

Launching soon!
Congrats on the launch! Very cool and niched down mission of finding out what others are listing to and more so - a deep dive into their music taste! Not sure if I want people to know exactly how many times I've listened to "Mario - let me love you" but beyond embarrassment I love the approach!
Anton Ponikarovskii
@dzaitzow that's a fantastic review πŸ˜ƒπŸ€£ thank you, Daniel ❀️ I also had this embarrassment, but now in our friends group we have a lot of memes based on our listening history πŸ”₯

Serge Zakharov
As constant user of Spotify I find concept of MUBR - it's like having a window into my friends' musical world, right on my home screen! The real-time updates are a game-changer. Curious, are there any plans to introduce features that allow for collaborative playlists or song recommendations based on the shared listening data?
Anton Ponikarovskii
