The problem Side B solves

Music NFTs have not set artists free in the way they expected. The only path to revenue is through sales of the NFTs all while the music remains public to anyone who wants to listen to it for free. Those that buy the NFTs might be true fans, or they might be speculators. Outside of making money, artists still don't have a good way to connect and engage with fans who listen to their music.

For fans of music, discovering artists is still a challenge—especially in web3. Beyond discovery, remembering what you liked is even harder. In the web2 world, Spotify creates Spotify Wrapped every year, but fans don't have access to this data directly. If they did, they could build their own "Wrapped" every day if they wanted. Fans would never forget who they listened to because it would always be available.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with minting NFTs from the admin side of things. The Flow documentation doesn't have strong support for server-side JavaScript usage. We decided to just use a server that executes shell scripts using the Flow CLI to get around this quickly.
