Mobiconf 2018: Hash Riaz, Abbey Road Red
summary
Abbey Road Red builds Topline, a free iOS/Android app released late 2017 to capture song ideas on the move and sync to Google Drive or Dropbox. Development uses user-driven design with ~100 London songwriters plus an international test community; early features include two vocal tracks, notes/photos, sharing and undo, and requests add additional voice tracks and volume control. Android work uses early Flutter and earned a Google I/O Flutter showcase spot. The app is live, adopted by grassroots and touring artists, and continues iterative development.
