The playlist app that has grown to over 42.000 users per month within only 6 months.
PRLog - Dec. 22, 2014 - SUNDSVALL, Sweden -- In June 2013 the Swedish based digital agency Flatmate Web & Digital began working on a project that would bring democracy to the party playlists in Spotify, a project that later on was given the name PartiQ (Party Queue / Party IQ).
WHY
In the beginning, PartiQ was intended as an internal, fun, project to build the team and to solve a problem that the team members oftent experienced at parties. There’s always someone at the party that attempts to take the playlist under siege and fills it to the brim with his or her music of choice. That’s where PartiQ comes in as the masked hero and solves the problem.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the app is simple. We want to create a fair and collaborative playlist for your party. The party host simply creates a new party using the PartiQ app in Spotify. When a new party is created it is given a unique party ID. The ID is then used by the guests to join the party on their smartphone or any other preffered device. When they are connected they can use their smartphone to search and add songs to the party playlist using PartiQ that connects to the Spotify API. The rest is handled by the ”democracy engine” in PartiQ.
SPOTIFY AND PARTIQ
PartiQ is an official Spotify application which means it meets their techinical requirements and is a unique application.
FAST GROWING
Since the launch of PartiQ within the Spotify App Finder June 23rd 2014 the user base has grown from 0 to over 42.000 users per month.
Since PartiQ has accelerated extremely fast, the need of a great hosting partner has been big. The team contacted Digital Ocean, one of the world leading hosting companies, and gave a presentation of PartiQ and what our needs were. On October 29th 2014, we entered into a sponsorship deal with Digital Ocean.
THE FUTURE
The team is aiming to break free the core application and build a ”stand-alone” web application to be able to integrate more services and functionality.
In order to be able to keep developing the application the team has set up a campaign on Kickstarter to fund the project. We invite you to read more about the new version and coming development at Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1233959346/partiq-the-fair-and-collaborative-playlist
