OFU

From today we'll be starting our new project which is called OFU.

OFU stands for One For Us. This is a room based music platform where people in the common room would make a queue and play music of choice.

#Idea Description

OFU would be web based platform proposed to be built in NextJS. Idea is to create and keep this website as simple as possible without compromising the user interface and experience. Idea is to use a Spotify API or any other alternative for fetching music. A proper music player would be having play, pause, play before, play next, audio time and music slider. Multiple users can join a room with others and create a musical queue based on everyone's recommendation.
