Fed up with boring ads, I built my own music player — Moodcast.

It’s a full-stack music streaming app where you can search and play songs through YouTube, create playlists, and even check lyrics while listening.

One of the features I’m most excited about is Rooms — instead of just one person controlling the music, friends can add songs to a shared queue and vote on what should play next. It makes the whole experience more fun and collaborative.

Along the way, I also added machine learning–based recommendations, secure authentication, and a clean modern UI built with React, TailwindCSS, Express, Socket.IO, and MongoDB.

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
