Widerly - more than a music app
music, videos, friends, chat
Hi everybody! I just launched my project that I’ve been working on for over 3 years. The whole app works as PWA so that means - no sideload and is working on iOS and Android. :)
I’m really into music.. but I missed many things in well-known apps.. So that’s why I decided to make my own.
Official release was just yesterday, but there is still alot of work (new features that I have on my mind I mean)
App is primarly free, but Premium can be bought (2$/month)
Now lemme tell you what Widerly all has:
- Trends, recently played, most played
- Search, Playlists, Offline
- Queue with shuffle as well
- Friends list & Direct chat
(No copying URLs of songs or playlists, but can be sent directly into the chat!)
- YT videos without ads
- 3 catchy games (proved as good while being bored and just listened to music :D)
- Many colorful motives for the whole app.
- Achievements, pinned tracks on profile, BIO.

What stood out to me is that you're trying to build a place people stay, not just a place they play music.
The interesting challenge is deciding what the product is actually competing with. If people primarily see it as another music player, many of the community features become secondary. If they see it as a social music experience, those same features become the reason to switch.
Thank you for so such a nice comment ❤️
I'm curious about one thing.
As you've been talking to people about it, what part of the product gets them most excited first—the music experience or the social side?
I have a feeling the answer will shape where the product naturally wants to go.
Well.. I would say the app being universal.. combination. Of course music - that's the main thing, but also exploring new things. I've added some more gamification, streaks, rewards. planning to make it even more social, we'll see where it goes.
That's helpful context.
Your answer raised a question for me about the direction the product is naturally pulling you toward. I don't think I'd be doing it justice by reducing it to a few comments because the reasoning matters more than the conclusion.
If you're open to it, what's the best email to reach you on?
Hi, you can contact me :) mrcartoony@icloud(dot)com, It says I'm not allowed to post links, so just replace the (dot) with "."
Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
