Devlog 2: Ten Months in the Making

I’ve been working on Hustlenix Music for around 10 months, but not all of that work made it into the devlogs. Some of the time simply wasn’t recorded, so the logged hours don’t represent the entire development journey.

I’m now getting close to shipping the first beta, and I’ve been working on the visual design.

I want the interface to feel familiar to anyone who’s used a modern music streaming app, without directly copying Spotify’s design.

The main challenge is balancing that familiar experience with what makes Hustlenix Music different: its Strudel-based compositions and built-in editor.

I’m trying to make it feel like a music player first, rather than a coding tool with a music-player interface attached.
