SoundVent was born from the frustration of artists juggling disconnected tools for streaming, community, merch, email, and ticketing, and the vision was a single, music-native platform where all of that lived together in one coherent ecosystem.

Over 5 months of solo development I designed and built a full-stack platform that combines social networking, messaging, streaming, merch, and early events into one product, and shared schemas and a unified design system keep these modules feeling like one cohesive experience rather than stitched-together tools.

SoundVent’s architecture combines the Next.js App Router with a Supabase-backed core for auth, realtime social features, commerce, and events, plus Mux for video and Stripe Connect for payouts, and a unified schema, strict RLS, Zustand, and a shared design system let many complex modules behave like one cohesive platform.

The UI is mobile-first, dark, and music-centric, blending real-time feeds, dashboards, product creators, events, and a persistent player into one visual language, and it feels like a purpose-built home for indie artists rather than a generic SaaS skin.

Building a real-time social, streaming, messaging, and commerce platform solo meant juggling deep DB design, strict security, media handling, and complex UI — all without overwhelming users, and I tackled this with modular schemas, strong state management, custom Supabase tooling, and a tightly unified UX.

SoundVent launched as a production-ready beta that gives indie artists a unified ecosystem for community, content, and commerce — something the market largely lacked, and it also established a flexible foundation for future expansion into mobile, live, ticketing, and more.
