If you release music or games, you end up with codes. A pile, pasted into an email from your label or your distributor. You're now supposed to hand them out to fans, reviewers and curators without giving the same one to two people or losing track of which ones worked. This is the boring infrastructure for that. Put the codes in, share one link, and it handles the rest: one code per person, captcha so bots don't drain the batch, a record of claimed codes, and a way to report none working codes.
Hi, I'm Mattias. I've been making music my entire life, and had some success in select circles, but I also find it extremely difficult to market my music and see it as "A Product".
The constant spreading of rows of codes screenshotted from an excel document, keeping an eye on where the first 10 codes were posted so I can post the following 10 in another sub, which has been claimed... It's beyond what I view as the joyful part of finishing up and setting a music project free into the world.
I've tried quite a few services so solve this problem, but I haven't really found one that scratches my itch. Now I'm building one myself, the way I feel it should work and it's 100% free.
