To all current and future ROCKSTARS on ROCKI,

As we’re getting close to finishing our private beta period on ROCKI.app, which has been going on since September this year, we’re pleased to announce that our private beta period has been a huge success. Over 5,000 artists have uploaded over 30,000 pieces of original music onto ROCKI. We’ve streamed and tested over 1 million streaming minutes and squashed several bugs along the way, which is typical for a new technology company building disruptive technologies.

Our amazing community of artists has helped us define many features and improve on our core functionality, such as the highly anticipated Streaming as Mining and our game-changing Music NFT’s (which were covered in CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Business Insider, AP, NASDAQ, Yahoo Finance, Magnetic Magazine, and many more). Certainly not a bad way to start!

The response from the music industry has been tremendous, with many thousands of more artists signing up for the full public launch, scheduled in the very early parts of this new year. Our newly reinforced development and design team has been hard at work with the new public-facing streaming platform, and we would like our great community to assist with feedback on the new platform’s look and feel and design.

To make it fun and worthwhile to help us out, we’re giving away (in a raffle) $100, $50, and $25 worth of ROCKS tokens to three lucky winners from the feedback list (based on the current market value of ROCKS at the time of the raffle). To enter, simply review the new design proposals below, and use the link below each design slides to give us your feedback. Winners will be chosen randomly on January 8th, 2021, and will be notified by email and in our ROCKI Telegram group.

Remember, ultimately, we’re designing the ROCKI streaming platform for users like yourself (artists and fans/listeners), so we take user and community feedback very seriously. With your support, ROCKI will disrupt a $21 Billion industry (Music Streaming), where the lucky 1% gets 90% of all the revenue generated. This unfair payment model changes NOW with ROCKI. Let’s give those 99% of all other artists a better streaming platform!

Who’s with us?

User feedback #1. Main Music landing page:

This newly designed Music landing page on ROCKI, shows new, popular and ranking music all under the first page. Also, the top bar navigation stays in place to make it easy to select between the different categories on ROCKI. (secret preview, did anyone see video added? Shhhhhh)

User feedback #2. Main Account page:

The new user account page, will show your playlists, your favorite music and artists and your own uploaded music if you’re an artist. There will also be new social media sharing tools for quick sharing with your fellow music lovers and in the near future, we’re also adding private messaging between users. This new design also has the new user account background page, where the user can upload their profile picture and a background banner.

Based on your feedback of this new and improved ROCKI platform web design, we’ll either move forward with our full public release plans (which is planned for early next year), or if feedback suggests, we’ll go back to the drawing board and update the design based on everyone’s input as a group.

Thanks for taking the time to assist us in our journey to change the world of music streaming forever!
