Mixapps packages songs into a self-contained Progressive Web App that recipients can save to a phone home screen and keep using offline.
Two Python scripts drive the process: one lets users add and reorder tracks, and the second builds the web app for upload to any web host.
Hunter Irving designed it to outlast streaming playlists, where tracks can disappear and recipients may not share the same subscription services.
Once installed, the mix no longer needs continuous hosting or an internet connection, though music-sharing copyright concerns still apply.
