Hey,

Posting this idea in a niche space. Not too hopeful, but inspired by other posts and trying my luck to see if anyone wants to collaborate. My email is my profile.

The niche here is Indian Classical Music. I would want to use the modern technology to uplift the domain and solve some common problems starting with sharing and distributing of music. Lyrics are usually shared in textual form in one of the languages with no accompanying swaras. As the music and inherently ragas are very structural, there is an opportunity to separate the syntax, representation, rendering, ragas, language, talas etc. and allow to distribute in a consistent way.

I already have the high level design ready. I am looking for some web developer with preferably react experience and more importantly an understanding and interesting in this domain to appreciate what is being done.

Shout out through an email and we shall collaborate!

The 'quick exiting the party' approach works if you are of this kind and alone. If your spouse/family is different, it complicates things. The trick I have found helpful is to 'fake' enjoying the small conversations or force myself to take occasional breaks from feeling the need for intellectual stimulation and allow myself to indulge in the group. This also has worked positively by preventing being outcasted. It has been a win-win for all of us. As I age, I am tired to find the right group instead has settled for 1-2 like minded people whom I can converse on complex topics.

To put a specific number, in Carnatic Music there are 72 of them and are called 'Melakarta' ragas - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melakarta

Conventional Commit Standard [0] aims to solve this problem. Added to it is a good ecosystem of tools like Commitlint [1], Commitzen [2], Semantic Release [3] etc.
