Very interesting. I hadn’t heard of Faircamp before, but really like the concept. Thanks for sharing! My (very) rough idea right now is to make a website that lets users 1. drag and drop audio files from their desktop into the browser, 2. arrange them to build a mix, and 3. use WebRTC to connect with the receiver, who can then install the PWA. If I could get that working, it would eliminate the need to use the command line, unless you want to permanently host a mixapp.

Hope it works out well for you! Beyond mixtapes, I think it could be an interesting way for artists to distribute their albums. Next project: write some songs… :-)

Thanks for checking it out! Yes, for now making a new mixapp does require using the command line, but I’ve been thinking about making that more intuitive for those who prefer different interfaces, perhaps with some kind of browser-based UI.

You and I know what to do with an m3u8 file, but the average person does not. This approach makes it dead simple to get your playlist to the receiver (by packaging it as a static webpage), and lets them persist it indefinitely for offline use (by installing it as a PWA).
