shoutout.wtf — because the fact that we haven't been giving music credit is actually crazy (WTF)

We just launched https://shoutout.wtf! To be honest, I built this app purely for the love of music. I’m genuinely grateful to everyone who’s ever shared a song with me — you’ve inspired this whole project.

How it works:

1. Gamification -- Turning Music Taste Into a Game The app makes discovering music feel like a competition. You start as a Rookie and level up all the way to Michael Jackson status by earning Props. You get Props when someone discovers a song through you and gives you a Shoutout. Basically, the better your music taste is, the higher you climb on the Leaderboard. The first 500 users get a special Founder badge (“Abel”), which gives them a unique identity on the platform and early bragging rights.

2. Live Feed & Super Shoutouts -- This is where the energy of the app lives. When you hear a song someone shared and you like it, you can Shoutout the person who put you on. It’s like saying “yo, this was a fire recommendation.” There’s also Super Shoutout. In the “Song In My Head” story bar—where people post the song currently stuck in their head—you can give a Super Shoutout. That saves the track to your own feed and gives the original sharer 3× more Props. It’s basically the ultimate way to say “your taste is elite.” All the songs you’ve shared and been credited for appear on your profile under Songs Shared, building your reputation as someone with great taste.

3. Instagram Story Sharing -- We make it easy for music to spread on social media. Whenever you discover a track, the app generates a friendly visual card with the song artwork and the Instagram username of the person who put you on the track. You can post this card to your Instagram Story. It’s a fun way to give credit, and the person who shared the song gets Props — creating a natural, social buzz.

4. Taste Matching & “Blind Drop” -- This is how you discover new music and connect with people who share your vibe. Blind Drop is a fast, swipe-style discovery mode. You hear random songs from the global feed without knowing who shared them. If you like one, you add it to your archive and the original sharer gets Props. There’s also My Circle, where you can see what your friends or the people you follow are currently listening to — and they can also see the Shoutouts you give. If you want to find new tastemakers, you can explore the Leaderboard, check public profiles, and follow users whose music taste matches yours.

plz guys, give it try, i'm aiming to have the most collaborative playlist in the world, Shoutout to you all, Peace upon you all
