tlvx:
Muxtape is “a minimalist platform for bands to promote their music”. That minimalist approach encompasses more that just aesthetics. It also informs our technical decisions, architecture, and the tools we use. Minimalism isn’t about doing less as much as it is about doing as little as needed. The more specific your goals the easier it is to say yes and no at the right times. Our goal is to...
