It’s been over a year since my last TuneSage update, but work has been progressing. Work on the backend was slow and challenging; I spent some time going down quite a few dead-ends. But it’s actually generating melodies now, so I should be able to release some output samples sometime soon, fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
I signed up for this year’s Y Combinator’s Startup School<\/a> once again. I did it once back in 2019, but other than making a landing page (TuneSage.com<\/a>), my progress was sparse. I just needed a lot more time than I imagined to make progress with the backend.<\/p>\n Startup School’s Course Guide says: “If you haven\u2019t launched yet, make it a goal to launch during the program and get your first users!”<\/p>\n OK, I guess I’ll make it a goal then! Granted, I have repeatedly failed at making enough progress to launch whenever I have set it as a goal, but one must keep trying I suppose.<\/p>\n My question is: how many features do I need to launch with? For better or worse, my current plan is to just launch the product as a basic melody generator to start with.<\/p>\n So what do I need to do to launch?<\/p>\n Is that it? Am I forgetting anything?<\/p>\n Of course, there are many more features I’d still like to add; AI can be used for a lot more than just generating melodies. But it’s a starting point, and melodies are the one area I think other AI music systems struggle with the most at the moment.<\/p>\n So how long will all that take? Can I finish it in a few weeks? Startup School lasts for 7 weeks, so if I can do it in 3 or 4 weeks, that would be awesome. Considering how long things have taken me in the past, however, it will probably take me… 12 years. But for now let’s daydream:<\/p>\n That’s probably wishful thinking, but it’s better than nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been over a year since my last TuneSage update, but work has been progressing.
