Hello there Product Hunters!
I am Sandeep, the founder of Groovli; first and foremost, huge thanks to @nikhiljoisr for hunting us!!! truly honored!!
We are thoroughly excited to introduce Groovli to you and we would love to get the community’s feedback!
We created Groovli as we noticed that sharing music (a link from youtube, soundcloud, etc.) is one of the most popular actions on social networks, but once a song is shared, it stays relevant for about a week at most, after which it becomes irrelevant and lost in their social feeds.
With the status-quo, people are losing out on a lot of connections they could possibly make with other people who share similar tastes in music; they're also losing out on discovering new music / artists that might interest them, while hiding right under their nose, buried within their existing social feeds.
Just because a song was shared last week, doesn't make it a bad song; it's still a good song, and a curated song at that; someone took the time out to share it, because they liked the song that much; and it doesn't make sense that that piece of curated data should go into a silo and sit dormant and unused; but that's exactly what happens with the incessant / endless torrent of information within social networks.
Music is universal common ground; anyone who listens / loves music would love to listen to music shared within their social circle, or even by specific people within their social circle, in a streamlined manner; there currently exists no way to listen to all socially shared music painlessly; its this huge silo of data just sitting dormant, and unused after just a couple days of being posted to those social networks.
Groovli is a social jukebox that is purely powered by music shared within your social circles, as well as outside them; it aims to be a platform that allows you to discover new music through your friends & new friends through their music; Groovli hopes to enable you to easily connect with and make friends with people sharing similar tastes in music, that you might have otherwise never had the opportunity to interact with
We really hope you enjoy the Groovli app, and we'd love to get your feedback!

How are you different from SoundCloud and 8tracks?

Maker
@snehalnimje so with SoundCloud you have users uploading their original music / mixes to the site, and then users discover the music within the SoundCloud community; it primarily serves as an online audio distribution platform (or an online audio source); with 8tracks its a social network centered around user-curated playlists using again user uploaded audio files, or existing curated uploads by other users from the community.
We know that users are already sharing music to existing social networks like Facebook, Twitter & Google+ in large numbers, using existing online audio sources like YouTube, SoundCloud, etc; but all that curated music that gets shared stays relevant for about a week at most, after which it becomes irrelevant and lost in their social feeds. We at Groovli believe that all that music is incredibly valuable, as it's curated by the user and they took out the time to share it socially, and quite possibly because they liked the song that much. We feel it doesn't make sense that that piece of curated music should go into a silo (some social network's database) and sit dormant and unused; but that's exactly what happens with the incessant / endless torrent of information within social networks. Groovli aims to tap into that huge silo of data just sitting dormant within existing social networks, and allow it's users to be able to consume / discover that curated music in a streamlined manner. In this way Groovli ends up being a social jukebox purely powered by music shared within your social circles, as well as outside them.
Currently, Groovli only integrates with Facebook (as the social network) and YouTube (as the online audio source), but going forward we aim to further socially integrate with Twitter and also end up using SoundCloud as an alternative online audio source.
Please let me know if that answered your question! Thank you!
