7 weeks after 7 days with Pianity
This is long overdue, but I wanted to shed some more light on the brilliant Pianity platform. I spent a week with this platform a while ago, and it was the peak of our 10 reviews cycle in 2022 – I just haven’t found a better platform afterward. The community in Pianity and their Crew3 quests got me so excited, I continue being active even now. I do get asked about my favorite Web3 / NFT platform, and I always recommend Pianity regardless of a musician’s genre or level. So, why do we need to talk about it again? For the sake of fairness, I ended the 7 day review with some suggestions, and let’s see what happened after.
Addressing the feedback
While I was investigating the business model, I found out that Pianity received a significant investment to invest in growth, and one of the directions for growth was a mobile application. Pianity did deliver on that expectation, and now I have the app on my phone, and can continuously discover new goodies.
One comment that I had was around the social features – although the community is extremely active on Discord, Twitter, and other media, I was lacking something simple like the “like” button. – Pianity team implemented it within a month after I wrote it.
Finally, I mentioned in the review post that given how much great music I discover, I wish there was a way to capture it for the future, i.e. some sort of playlist functionality. And voila:
You can now build playlists out of tracks you own or release yourself. You cannot just put any tracks from Toplist and the markets in the playlists, you need to buy them as NFTs, which is another incentive for Pianity community to be active on the marketplace.
Like that was not enough...
Obviously, Pianity team was not addressing my comments personally, I’m not that special. The truth is that their DAO and product developers are constantly thinking of more ways to keep musicians and fans happy. I do not intend to list every feature they released, but here are two major ones that caught my attention:
- Perks – utilities that musicians can add when uploading the song, and the fans will get when they purchase it.
- Bounty – a special reward setup by an artist for their supporters to claim (to simplify this, it’s a giveaway NFT).
I’m yet to start leveraging both, as the last time I added a track for voting in Toplist was a while ago. Ross Geldart, whose brilliant tracks keep passing by mine on the way to Toplist #1, kindly introduced me to Bounty feature with “Echoes“.
We are here for a long play
In conclusion, I’ll just add that Pianity keeps delivering great service to their community, they don’t sacrifice the quality to gain resources for the introduction of new features. I have reasons to believe that this is one of the reasons why this Web3 music platform continues to see the growth even in the long-lasting bear market reality.
