Music Story - Convert SoundCloud to video

by Guro

Hey, Indie Hackers!
This is my little project that I've made during my vacation :)
I have a lot of friends on social networks that are taking actual videos of their screens playing their SoundCloud tracks and then posting them as stories or feed posts, so I thought I'll make a little tool that converts SoundCloud tracks to videos.

http://music-story.me/

I'd like to get some users/feedback but not sure how to do it, besides spending a little bit of money on Google Ads to get some traffic and trying to do a little bit of direct marketing (for which I have 0 experience) withing my network. so if there is anyone who is interested in partnering to play with the idea, I am all open!

Thanks!

    @Guro I don't know this is not what you are looking for. But I thought to give it a shot to check if you are open it.

    Here it is - I run www.tractionmate.com and work with developers and early startup founders to build early traction. And, I also run another productized service to build an email list using lead magnets and a few other tactics. It's @ https://www.listbuildify.com

    Let me know if you want to talk more about these lines.

    Hi, @Guro. Just got infinite downloading gif on 10% after pasting some random Soundcloud url, is that correct?

      Thanks for the report, can you provide the URL, please?
      it could happen when track on SoundCloud is too big (an hour or more), I need to somehow retrieve the duration from the API and let a user know that track exceeds max duration.

      Thanks again!

    I Would Suggest, Include a Option of Converting Postcast into Socially Shareable video in Square and vertical dimensions for IG post and social media stories and you will be able to reach a much larger audience.

    Keep it free for 1st 60Sec or whatever best you can give and premium for longer audio clips

    Best of luck. Feel free to hit me up!

      Thanks, yes I had it in mind but still, I'll have the same problem of reaching an audience :)

      I'm generating a waveform in the background and putting album art in the foreground.
      here is the sample:
