The team behind Humit has asked me to postpone their launch multiple times because of the covid catastrophe engulfing India... with members of their team succumbing. And yet they're ready for their launch now. Props y'all — props!

@chrismessina Thank you so much for being accommodative and taking time out to do this, even after multiple to/fro. Totally psyched!

Hello folks! I'm Prithvi, Co-founder of humit. We are stoked to release humit's iOS app to the PH community! humit is a social app for music lovers that lets you share powerful moments from your favorite songs to subreddit-esque channels called Stations 📻 humit is a fresh new way to bond and engage with like-minded music fans from around the globe 🌎 It makes music discovery serendipitous and sharing music far more addictive. Give it a shot and see for yourself! We launched our Android app a while ago on PH (that was #3 POTD) and have amassed over 3,000 users ever since... with over 15,000 hums shared 🎉 and over 400k streams We also have a bunch of interesting features in the pipeline 1) Externally shareable Stations and Profile pages 2) Personalised station/ friend recommendations 3) An enhanced hum creation experience 4) Improved support for passive listening Although you can proceed without an invite code, feel free to use mine (503801). At the moment you require a Spotify premium account to use humit, but we're working on support for non-premium and Apple Music users as well. Stay tuned for updates and please keep the feedback/questions rolling in 😁 PS: We hope you all are safe and sound in the midst of COVID 19. Stay safe and wear a mask!

@prithvi_sankar Hello..i want to bring investors on board for this company. Let's talk, if you're interested.

@prithvi_sankar @osas_calvin Thanks for stopping by! I have doublechecked and aside from changes in imports (pip no longer having a main function), I could get my code to work normally (on Linux Ubuntu though). I dont have time to investigate further, but make sure that youtube_dl actually downloaded the file to the root of the script. Maybe you also forgot to setup SAVE_FOLDER variable, which I corrected to be root folder by default. Check the updated version of the code and let me know how that works for

This app is quite honestly a labour of love. It's a happy, cosy place for everyone into music, and makes the experience much more bite sized and personal. It's like sitting down with your best friend, when they're showing you their favourite riff or beat drop from a song. Would love to see more kindred spirits join the community!
Prithvi Sankar
@tarun_raheja It's our pleasure :')

Is it only on iOS? But people who have Android? Sad. I think that this is a good app for sure, but is it for free or not? It is very problematic and difficult to find a suitable application with much music to download and accessible. It is practically impossible! I was looking a lot for a site that would offer me to download any music from YouTube, and it would be free. Fortunately, I found that one, yay! I found https://coconvert.com/youtube-wa... some weeks ago. From then until now, everything is fine. It is for free, the quality is good, and it is elementary to use. I adore this link, and I am happy that I found it :)

I remember when in college I had to create a whatsapp group to share music with my friends. Add to that the complexity of so many platforms present. To even share a verse from a song you had to add a song link with a timestamp which was definitely not the best way to share music. Then comes Humit, changing the social media landscape for music completely. I have bonded with so many ppl on this platform just on their music tastes. Discovering music has never been easier. I hope I get to see more people on this awesome community :)

@akshitjohry Thanks for the kind words.
Prithvi Sankar
@akshitjohry This was such a joy to read - could relate so much. Thanks a lot for making our day.

It's the newest yet the best way to share music with friends, literally in love with it. Humit OP 🙈🥳
Prithvi Sankar
@pranay_chauhan Thank you for those kind words! Total OP

Very practical app that facilitates music discovery with the ability to listen to 30s snippets of songs posted by users(and extend + bookmark them if we like what we’re hearing). Great community, with good taste in music! Several user curated “stations” to check out already, with the ability to create and manage your own. Diverse user base with music from all over the world. I post there daily myself! Surprisingly addictive :)

@kaliahaze1 folks you have to follow @KaliaHaze on humit. She has killer taste 🔥

@saurabh_sharma14 That is music to our ears :D
Sarah Donahoo
Nice! Downloaded just now :) I was having a chat with my friend just the other day about putting together some kind of interactive music sharing group that goes beyond collaborative spotify playlists (since we're all still in relatively strict lockdown where we're at.) I'll see if I can get some folks on board :) Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
Rohit Ganapathy
@sarah_donahoo that would be awesome, thanks :)
Akhilesh Ravishankar
I've discovered at least 10 good songs here over the last few weeks of beta testing. If you like music, just download this and use it at least once a day. Thank me later.
Prithvi Sankar
@akhilesh Let's make that 1,000? You have been such an amazing influence on our users, right from the DC++ days :P

I have been on humit for a month and I've already discovered 400+ jams, met with the cutest people and learnt many cool things about songs,artists. You can't experience these with a few friends! No doubt humit will be my favorite app for a while more as a person who loves listening to music & sharing good stuff with people. I'm looking forward to meet with new tastes! Wish you all the best humit team ❤️
Prithvi Sankar
@b454k You have been such a great musical influence on everyone, including ourselves! Keep the hums flowing and do help us in spreading the gospel far and wide :)

This is amazing. Craazy I was thinking about finding an app that does this a week ago and I stumble on this today. Will definitely be trying it out.
Rohit Ganapathy
@akangudaniel Awesome! Eager to know what you think :)

This app is just "Love"!! This is one of those apps which you just fall in love with, the moment you open it! Such a wonderful way to share music! Not only can you discover loads and loads of tasteful music here but you also get to meet new people and see how many of them have the same taste in music as you. This is by far the simplest way to share music with your friends and get into those fiery debates over which song/band is better ;)
Prithvi Sankar
@praneeth_bheema Thank you for that truly heartfelt write-up. We are honored to serve you and many more users globally!

Very interesting app! Music is a social experience and I love that Humit helps me discover new music and shared interests with a wider community. Love the user experience and design... super seamless! Great work, Prithvi and team! All the best. :)
Prithvi Sankar
@carygottheblues Glad to hear that you have been digging the app!
Abhishek Sahu
Humit is an Amazing app for discovering music if you know which stations to follow. You can even create a new station catering to your specific taste and have others follow and share similar music. I found myself quickly hooked on to the app after using it once. Amazing work guys @rohit_ganapathy @sudomice @prithvi_sankar , Kudos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Prithvi Sankar
@rohit_ganapathy @sudomice @abhishek_sahu7 That's right. Looking forward to many more of your favorite hooks on humit.

Good one! congratulation on the launch
Prithvi Sankar
@rashjbp Thank you for the wishes. Onwards and updwards 🚀
Ipshita Agarwal
Humit is the product I've been waiting for, as a music lover. The best part IMO is that I don't lose any songs recommended by friends and don't have to spend time looking for them through WhatsApp. Waiting for a YouTube premium integration soon too :) gooo team!
Ishaan Negi
@ipshita_agarwal Thanks Ipshita! We have YT integrations on the roadmap and will let you know once we launch it :)

This is a good idea, there are not much apps with such features. Thanks for sharing this
Prithvi Sankar
@vivekweb2013 IKR? We had been longing for an app like this for years, decided to build it ourselves since no one else did.
