What is Jukebox?
Never fight over the aux again! To use, create a "box" then share a link with friends so they can add songs. It's fair, so if person A adds two songs and person B adds one, B's song goes between A's. Scales infinitely!
Problem
Users need a fair way to collaboratively build playlists but face unbalanced song queuing with traditional tools (e.g., Spotify Collaborative Playlists) where contributors’ songs stack sequentially, leading to dominance by active users.
Solution
A web-based collaborative playlist tool where users create a shared "box," allowing friends to add songs ordered by algorithmic queuing for fair rotation (e.g., Person B’s 1 song is placed between Person A’s 2 songs).
Customers
Social event organizers, college students, office managers, and music enthusiasts regularly hosting group gatherings or managing shared playlists.
Unique Features
Infinite scaling with interleaved song order based on contributor equity, ensuring no single user dominates the queue.
