Backtrack solves a simple problem that I faced whilst producing some music: it's really hard to keep track of the latest version of a song. Backtrack solves this problem by providing the user a simple yet powerful tool customised to this exact experience.

So what are you waiting for? Check it out here.
Future plans include:
- Collaboration – work in sync with other musicians. Don't worry about making changes that someone else has already completed!
- Better workflow with DAWs – we know your time is valuable!
- Tutorials, blogs & UX – we want to provide a better experience to those who love our app.
- Merging branches – different ideas should be able to be combined in a project.
- Pricing model – better features, more storage, quicker uploads?
My vision for this app is not to replace others. It's not supposed to be a music creation service, nor is it supposed to just be a collaboration service. This is a framework, a concept, a building block: all musicians using digital files should be using Backtrack – no longer will youo have to make use of hundreds of identical folders/files & emails when just creating music.
You might also ask "so why just music? why not other walks of life: like video editing?". We'll see what the future holds, but I hand crafted this app with a particular scenario in mind and I have successfully fufilled that need!
This repository features a version of the Backtrack desktop application written in Electron x NextJS 13. Due to issues with nextron, this repository has been abandoned in favour of a private repo written using NextJS 12 (and subsequently, using /pages instead of /app).
A repository hosting a non-updating version of the backend can be located here. Please note this may contain bugs, if you're interested in contributing to Backtrack, please reach out to my email explaining why you'd be a good fit for this project: captika@outlook.com.
A list of all the endpoints can be found here.
Cheers! That's all for now,
