Open Source

Open Music is built in the open. The entire platform — frontend, backend, infrastructure — is open source. This isn't a marketing decision. It's a trust decision.

Why open source

The music industry has a transparency problem. Artists don't know how their royalties are calculated. Listeners don't know where their money goes. Platforms publish glossy reports but the actual systems are black boxes.

We believe the only way to build a truly fair music platform is to make the code visible. If you want to verify how payouts are calculated, you can read the source. If you think something could be better, you can propose a change.

The repository

Open Music is hosted on GitHub:

• Frontend & API — Next.js App Router, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Database — PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM
• Auth & Storage — Supabase
• Payments — Stripe for subscriptions, Solana for USDC payouts

The full tech stack and project structure are documented in the repository README.
