๐จ riffle just launched and it's easily one of the most exciting music startups this year
Their app is an infinite browser canvas with a taste-aware ai "sous chef" to snap out of creative blocks. Think Figma , butfor making music. 1.5k+ users in just 2 weeks, definitely keep an ๐ out for them!

'sup. iโm deo - cofounder of @riffledotstudio
iโve been making music my whole life and iโm telling you man, weโve lost the plot.
me and my co-founder suffered for years under the tyranny of tools built by engineers for engineers, not for the kid who plays three instruments by ear and freezes the second he opens a DAW, not for the singer with a hundred melodies in her head and zero finished songs, not for any of us who just had music in us and wanted it out.
the problem nobody solved:
there has never been a consumer-grade music creation tool built for people who are actually musical. DAWs are powerful, sure, but they hand you a cockpit when all you wanted was to play. and then text-to-music AI companies show up and go even further the wrong direction and take the wheel completely. from a text prompt they generate statistically average songs trained on billions of hours of human expression that contains exactly zero percent of you or your weird taste, your specific sadness, or your particular joy - the irreplaceable things.
weโre anti-slop. we believe in authorship. we believe music is the rawest, most ancient, most communal act of human expression. itโs always lived in people first and tools second, and somewhere in the last few decades that got inverted. we just want to flip it back.
riffle is the playground we always needed:
riffle is a playground. an ecosystem for music creation on the web - sounds, samples, instruments, simple tools, real-time collaboration, and the right amount of AI acting as a sous-chef in the background - it's brilliant and present and knows exactly when to step in and when to disappear - so that you can stay in flow state, that gorgeous messy magical state where the idea is still hot and alive and youโre not stopping to learn something, youโre just making.
this is early. genuinely, honestly, gloriously early. bugs exist, there are missing pieces, stuff we havenโt figured out yet. but itโs the first version of something weโve genuinely needed for a long time. so use it. break it. send it to a musical friend who's sitting on a hundred ideas.
go play today.
brooo https://t.co/2CnPBfqwFx just dropped on @producthunt alpha launch day and i am not okay. i haven't slept in 32 hours 'cause we decided to throw this raw unfinished breathing alive thing into the wild wild west with zero waitlist and full access for 48 hours.
here's the link: https://t.co/zgG2ODa5vg
try it out, make some music, then run to product hunt and leave a review so detailed and granular that people cry reading it and make us go number 1 because we are so early and scrappy and SO cooked if you donโt show up rn. thank you and gn
