BopBox

An audio collaboration and storage platform I'm building as a modern replacement for Dropbox and Soundcloud workflows.

BopBox

Overview

BopBox is my dream project. It's an audio collaboration and storage platform designed to replace my reliance on Dropbox and Soundcloud for file storage and sharing. As a musician and producer, I've experienced firsthand the pain of managing audio projects across multiple platforms. BopBox is my answer to that problem.

This is an ongoing passion project that pushes my capabilities in both design thinking and development expertise.

My Vision

A unified platform where music creators can:

  • Store and organize audio projects in collaborative workspaces
  • Share work with team members and collaborators
  • Provide timestamped feedback directly on waveforms
  • Compare different versions of tracks with A/B listening
  • Maintain a complete history of every iteration

Core Features

Boxes (Project Workspaces)

Boxes are the core of BopBox. Each box acts as a dedicated workspace for a project for something like an album, EP, sample pack, or single. Features include:

  • File uploading with drag-and-drop support
  • Folder organization and nested structure
  • Collaborator management with RBAC
  • Box-wide chat for team communication
  • File statuses with customizable labels

Audio Collaboration Hub

An interactive environment for reviewing and refining audio:

  • Full waveform visualization
  • Timestamped comments on specific sections
  • Comment attachments for reference files or alternative takes
  • Real-time collaboration with team members

Version Control

Upload multiple iterations of the same track for easy comparison:

  • A/B listening between versions
  • Complete history tracking of all modifications
  • Collaborative feedback on specific versions

Collections (Playlists)

Stacked waveform playlist views for listening to tracks back-to-back—similar to Splice or Soundcloud's queue experience.

Roadmap

This project is currently in the design phase.

Why I'm Building This

Every tool I use as a producer has compromises. Dropbox has tools for working with audio, but at its core, it isn't built for audio. Soundcloud isn't built for collaboration. Google Drive comments are clunky. I want one place where my music lives, and my friends can collaborate.

BopBox is that place.
