Musiké App

Musiké started as a tool for my drums teacher: a way to save songs and bookmark the exact parts worth practicing. It has handy controls — playback speed, forward/backward shortcuts — accepts multiple sources like YouTube and Spotify, and has since grown to support shortcuts for many more instruments.

Where it came from

I kept noticing that my teacher would open YouTube or Spotify and constantly need to jump back to a specific moment — and we’d often lose track of exactly where to return to: the start of a fill, or a particular beat in a song we wanted to break down. I figured I could build a quick solution for that, especially now in the age of vibe coding.

Built (almost) entirely on Lovable

This time I really wanted to feel what building with Lovable is like as a layperson, so I decided to try making the whole thing there. And that’s pretty much what happened: the project was built almost entirely on Lovable — except for the final stretch, which I pulled into my own repo. I’d burned through all my Lovable credits, and since I had some to spare on Claude Code, I continued development there.

Nothing here was a one-shot prompt. It took many, many iterations to get it to do what I wanted — but overall it went really well, because in the end it was all just prompts.

The app does a bunch of things that make a teacher’s routine easier, and it works great on the web, on mobile, and on a tablet. I can’t complain — Lovable handled it well, once I gave it the right instructions.

On top of the app itself, I had Claude generate the product’s landing page and a few use-case blog posts, plus a tutorial on the landing page — also built entirely with Lovable, and working nicely.

What’s next

Overall, I’m happy with how it turned out. And there’s a path forward: if I want, I could expand it into a mobile app where the teacher could download songs for when the internet signal is bad, or even use an algorithm to isolate instruments. In my case — I’m the one learning drums — the teacher could strip the drums out of a song so I play them myself, or leave only the drums so I can focus on how they sound. That’s the idea.
