Project

Mixtape Society is still early days—a solo project that's finding its footing. This section covers where it's headed and how you can get involved if you're interested.

📣 What's Happening

  • 🎯 Roadmap - What I'm working on next
  • 💡 Ideas - Things being explored (lots here!)
  • 📝 Changelog - What's been shipped so far

💙 Get Involved

No pressure, but if something here resonates, feel free to jump in.

🧭 Core principles

  • No central-server accounts
  • No Spotify / Apple Music integration
  • No social features (likes, comments, following)
  • No ads, analytics, or telemetry by default

Principle enforcement

  • No accounts – Public routes (/share/<slug>, /play/..., /qr/...) have no @login_required decorators. The optional authentication blueprint is not registered in production.
  • No streaming‑service integration – All audio files are served from MUSIC_ROOT; play.py never contacts Spotify, Apple Music, or any third‑party API.
  • No social features – Search results, mixtape pages, and the editor contain no “like”, “comment”, or “follow” UI elements.
  • No ads / telemetry – No analytics scripts, no tracking pixels, and all responses omit Set‑Cookie headers (except the optional session cookie for the admin UI).
