Love the "make beats with your voice" tagline, it's simple and effective. The demo video on the landing page makes me think on an idea: why not allow recording a video of your face while you record your vocal beat? It seems people are using TikTok as a mean of physical expression (through dance, mostly) and maybe your app could grow a subculture through the same dynamics?
I'm blown away by the effectiveness of the whole product. While being approachable for beginners, it seems to allow experts to tweak at will. It's a massive "tour de force".
The marketplace play mentioned in other comments seems like a thing to try. I confirm I would pay for querying predictions through the API.

First, I just stumbled on this and am not affiliated with it.
Second, I agree that some parts of the UI are overkill. Keep in mind that it has been designed for tablets and phones though: "(...) built primarily for the devices closest at hand: tablets and mobile phones."
The title of this post is taken from the text the link points to. From the text itself: "Developers and journalists, sometimes one-and-the-same, sit next to each other in the Quartz newsroom as we continually iterate and experiment."
I'm simply happy to see someone trying something new.
Incubators are becoming more and more like a popularity contest where the outcome is a crazy valuation. To me it looks like a broken system or one that's going to break sooner or later.
I was planning to submit my application to FounderFuel, a fairly new accelerator in Montreal, and decided to wait a bit. I'm still not sure if there is any value for my actual project in that kind of thing. The main drawback for me is the difficulty to focus on coding during the session.
Is this a problem for anyone else or is there incubators with a focus on coding?
Curious to see the final version!
