Why We Built TuneCenter

After launching UnderCover Party, we wanted to expand beyond games and create useful tools that solve real problems. Music streaming apps often require subscriptions, and many don't support self-hosted solutions like Subsonic. TuneCenter bridges that gap - giving you control over your music without lock-in.

Built With Modern Tech

TuneCenter is built with the same cross-platform stack we use for our games:

  • React Native & Expo for true cross-platform support
  • Zustand for state management
  • TanStack Query for data fetching
  • A focus on performance and reliability

What's Next?

We're actively working on:

  • Android app release
  • More streaming service integrations
  • Offline caching improvements
  • Enhanced equalizer and audio controls
