I built Jukebox because I got frustrated with group music apps and Spotify’s limitations (not everyone has Spotify, and collaborative playlists are still too easily dominated by one person). Jukebox is a web app that lets you create a group queue—anyone can join via link, add YouTube songs, and the system automatically rotates songs so everyone gets a fair turn (no more playlist hogs).
Web-based, no accounts, no installs.
Drop in a YouTube link or search and add music instantly.
Songs rotate in round-robin order (so even if one person adds ten songs, nobody else is skipped).
Entirely open source (MIT), self-hostable with Docker, privacy-friendly.

I made this as a stress-relief project while pivoting my actual startup (Trieve) and used it to practice UI/UX (neo-brutalist design, drag-and-drop), plus experiment with AI pair coding.
Would love your feedback or feature ideas!
