Show IH: DemoKeeper - a tool I built because I kept not knowing if anyone listened to my music demos

Hey IH! I'm JP.

Quick background: spent the last few years as a data engineer. Quit last week to build things on my own.

DemoKeeper is the first thing I'm putting out.

Link: https:/demokeeper.app

The problem is something I kept running into personally. I make music — beats, demos, works in progress. Every time I wanted to share something with a collaborator or a friend, I'd upload it somewhere, send a link, and then wonder if they ever actually played it. Half the time I'd send a "hey did you get that?" message anyway, which kind of defeats the purpose.

So I built DemoKeeper. Upload a demo, share a link, get notified when someone opens and plays it. The person on the other end doesn't need an account — they just click and it plays. No folder navigation, no format issues, no mystery about whether the link worked.

It's pretty minimal right now, which feels right. I wanted to ship something real first and figure out what it actually needs to be from there.

Today is day one.

If you make music and deal with this, I'd love to hear how you're handling it. And if you want to try DemoKeeper, feedback is very welcome.
