TipZar connects artists with fans through streaming, merchandise, and direct interaction. React Native carries the audio streaming experience, the Node.js/Express backend handles high-volume streaming with CDN integration for audio quality and load times, and MySQL manages the relational web of artists, albums, tracks, and playlists.
WebSockets enable live streaming events, synchronised listening parties, and instant messaging between fans and artists. Stripe covers both music purchases and merchandise with automated royalty distribution, and the recommendation engine reads listening habits, social connections, and artist interactions.
Artists get analytics dashboards, fan engagement metrics, and targeted promotion tools. Streaming runs adaptive bitrate for quality across connections, and social features add fan communities, concert information, and exclusive content for subscribers.
