After getting frustrated by the existing playlist submission options, we, a small group of indie musicians, came together one weekend and quickly hacked together the first version of Playlist Partner. It was a scrappy patchwork of code, platforms, and duct tape holding it all together. This rough-and-ready MVP was our way of testing if there was interest in a 100% free, community-driven project created purely out of love for music.

Our goal was clear: create a new kind of site that didn’t destroy your Spotify account by forcing you to follow countless playlists that might not even feature your song, or artists you'd never listen to. Instead, we wanted to foster genuine connections and a mutual exchange of value agreed upon directly by artists and curators, not dictated by the platform.

We were blown away by the response and the love our weekend experiment received. With your invaluable feedback in hand, we went back to the drawing board and meticulously rebuilt the platform from the ground up. And now, here we are on launch day!

PlaylistPartner 2.0 is smoother, faster, and more intuitive, both on the frontend and backend. It provides artists and curators with a robust, reliable foundation, enabling us to roll out even more powerful features in the future. Expect a snappier interface, a streamlined user experience, and a powerful new engine built to amplify your music's reach.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll notice a little feedback button floating around the right side of the site. Please use it to report any issues or submit your feature requests, we're excited to keep improving based on your input.

Thanks for supporting our project, and may the odds ever be in your favor!
