D1SCO is a platform for communities centred around music, allowing users to share, discuss and discover the music they love.
This project was one which we at 2V3.studio came up with ourselves. Our main priority when building the app was to create a working version in a short period of time. It only took us 3 weeks from outlining the idea to having initial users on the platform!
Design
We followed our standard design process, first establishing the core functionality of the prototype. This is something we usually do over video calls with clients. Our specification for the D1SCO platform was:
Once we'd finalised our specification, we went on to wireframe the web app.
A wireframe is a skeletal outline of a digital interface or design, illustrating the layout and basic elements without detailed design elements.
Develop
To develop the web app, we used the following tech stack:
To provide a library of songs, albums and artists that users could share within the app, we used the Spotify Api. By connecting our service to Spotify, we were able to introduce full-text song search, and display an artists most streamed songs.
Release
We decided to host D1SCO through Vercel using a testing url www.D1SCO.vercel.app. This allowed us to publish the website live and get user feedback before committing to a name and brand.
When we work with clients, we will host their website on a testing url so that they can review the website before it gets published live to their domain.
