Two years ago, I posted a Show HN about a music streaming service I've been working on for about four years at that point. It was my first serious project I've ever worked on.

I'm still actively working on that project, and a countless number of features have been added. Yeah, a few people here and there use it, and it is costing me about $100 a month to host on AWS, but I'm not bothered. I'm still very passionate about this space, and nothing else really interests me as much.

If anyone is interested in checking it out, the site is https://ampl.fi/

what is your motivation behind it? I understand that you are working on this from quite sometime but similar service giants like spotify, (Apple|Amazon|Youtube) Music etc exists right? So how do you find the motivation to continue working on it. Also do you expect something out of it, like you are giving it your time & effort so what is the expectation out of it?

Sorry, if my comment sounded rude. I'm just curious to know :)

Hey, no problem!

I bill the site as more of a music streaming and storefront service. It's much more in-line with services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud, where users can upload their own music. The site leans more towards Bandcamp in that users can monetize their work, and the site takes a very small fee for transactions. I'm focusing more on community aspects, like remix and sample competitions, as well as live music sharing, to help differentiate it even more.
