What it does
After 10 years at DistroKid, I kept hearing artists frustrated with sharing unreleased music. SoundCloud has copyright bots, WeTransfer expires, Google Drive has no analytics. Gatefolded gives you: password-protected links, real analytics (who listened + when), instant access revocation, and optional tip collection. No platform risk, no false copyright claims. Built it as a musician who books shows in Seattle. $49/year, currently in beta. Would love feedback from the community!
Your music page, not a list of links. Share your music directly with fans, labels, and press. Built-in streaming, private sharing, lyrics, credits, and analytics. The Linktree alternative built for musicians. $49/year.
Share your catalog with fans. Send unreleased tracks to labels and press. One page that does what Linktree, Google Drive, and SoundCloud can't. Your public music page. Fans hear your music right on the page, with streaming links when you want them—and they can subscribe and tip without leaving. The Linktree replacement that actually plays your music. Private, secure sharing for labels, press, and collabs. Password protection, email allowlists, expiring links, and listener analytics. Replace Linktree, Bandcamp's free tier, password-protected Google Drive folders, and SoundCloud private links — with one artist-owned page. Honest comparison — Bandcamp and SoundCloud do many of these. The point…from gatefolded.com

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
