Show HN: Jukebox – Free, Open Source Group Playlist with Fair Queueing

📰 Hacker News · skeptrune

Hey HN, 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. Live demo: https://jukeboxhq.com Code: https://github.com/skeptrunedev/jukebox 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
