For Musicians
Considering
10Under consideration
Financial year expense export (with receipt capture)
Add a Financials section that aggregates all gear-related expenses by financial year, with the ability to export or download this data (CSV/PDF) for sending to an accountant, and optionally sync with accounting platforms like Xero and QuickBooks. Include the ability to upload receipt photos, auto-extract key fields such as Item, Cost, Type, and Quantity using OCR, and optionally create or match items directly into the user’s gear list from the recognized data.
Merchant - Request Manufacturer Specs
Darren Thornbury for the manufacturer filling in the details, knowing how i can be lazy, could you have a button "request verified specs from manufacturer" button as required? IE, I don't advertise my current draws, but IF somebody emailed me then for sure I'd have to look it up or take a new measurement and get back to them. I'd feel bad leaving them hanging since it's a personal request. I'm less likely to build something and then fill it out.
Social Feed
Basically a page dedicated to just social feeds from users, band pages, businesses etc. Similar structure to most social media but only music and music industry related. Have ads embedded but again only advertising that is music industry related. Share posts, photos, videos, YouTube clips and even LIVESTREAM. Businesses in the directory can advertise their products and deals.
Instrument story history
Basically an area when the owner can add details about the history with the instrument. For example: I own a J&D Luthiers SG that I bought when I was 16 and have owned it ever since. It was used a lot when I first started learning heavier guitar parts. It was my first electric guitar. It has a unique tone and I always come up with something interesting with it. The only modifications it has had was the bridge pickup. The bridge pickup sounded weak compared to the neck pickup so I bought a pickup from a guy on eBay. He said it was from a Flying V from the 70s. It was definitely hotter sounding than the stock pickup from J&D. Gave it an edge. Adding stories like this to the instrument are a way of capturing the narrative or journey of the instrument. Can add intrinsic value to the instrument and can also show a history of musicians that owned it and played it.
Autofill instrument details from photos
When adding a new instrument, let users either take or upload photos of the brand logo and serial number (for example, front and back of a guitar headstock) and use image/OCR analysis to detect the Brand, Model, and Serial Number, then auto-fill the instrument details. Also support manual entry of brand and serial number that still triggers the same manufacturer lookup and autofill so users can choose between image analysis automation, manual entry with manufacturer autofill, or full manual entry.
Tracking Code Coating paint
A clear spray on coating that has a unique code that is repeated a million times. The idea is that even if the coating is worn off in different areas, the code can still be retrieved if there is 1% of it. The code is registered to the manufacturer. Those details would be stored in a cloud based service provided by Sonority. The codes would be tied to that service. The purpose of this unique coating is so that if the instrument was ever stolen or lost, the code could be scanned and then the specific details of the instrument be shown. It can also be used as a trigger point when scanned to update status or location of the instrument.
Mental & Physical health check
Section or page under profile for mental health as well as physical health checks. Example: physical health questions for a Guitarist about his shoulders or due to wearing heavier guitars for extended periods of time. Determine issues and then provide stretching exercises or if in pain options to contact Physiotherapist or other relevant medical professionals. Example: Mental health questionnaire to cover feelings on music, playing gigs and more. Would need a proper structure from a medical professional. Gotta keep people happy n healthy :)
Super Fund allocation
In financial section. There can be the option to have SuperFunds that are only involved in the Arts & Entertainment industry. Another way for the platform to get affiliate or reseller revenue. Example of fund with Arts focus. https://www.mediasuper.com.au/ Musicians can then have their Super going to funds that support the music industry.
Tone rating & Tone profiler
Idea is to have a section where musicians can rate the tone of the instrument. Over time it can be used to create a value score.
Merch inventory page
Page dedicated to merchandise inventory. Band t-shirts, vinyls etc. Ability for bands to know how much stock they have and if they need to order more for their next event.

Instrument Carousel View
A carousel style view that makes swiping between instruments or gear very easy and provides a great user experience.
Insurance
Instrument insurance management Add an Insurance section where users can store and manage policy details, including coverage information, policy number, provider details, expiry or renewal date, and attached policy documents. Users should be able to link specific instruments to a policy, update covered items over time, and optionally manage or shortcut to payments via an integrated or linked payment service.
Integrations Page
Page with all the integrations and add on features that the modern musician needs. Submitted via Discord by @modularmind
Multi-language feedback & translation
Enable customers to submit feedback in their native language and automatically translate it for admins so teams can read, filter, and act on feedback from a global user base without language barriers. This should support multiple interface languages for the feedback portal itself and provide on-demand or automatic translation of feedback content so insights can be compared and reported in a single primary language.
Storage location
Section to highlight where the instrument or gear is stored. Map view. Notes also
Instrument value assessment
Idea is that you have the cost history of what you paid for the item. Then there is an Estimated Value service. Which can then be used to value your instrument when you sell it in the marketplace but also to have a market value for insurance. Example: Bought a 2003 Fender Strat in 2005 for $600. In 2023 that guitar is now valued at $1200. Factors includes famous musicians, reviews and tone rating.
Tour prep checklists
Tour/Gig section Basically have a checklist built in for tour/gig prep. Have pre-made templates of checklists as well as the ability to create a save their own custom checklists.
Jobs & Gigs marketplace
Create a Jobs section where users can post and browse opportunities for musicians, including paid gigs and musician-friendly day jobs, with applications pre-filled from the musician’s Sonority profile similar to LinkedIn-style job applications. This should let musicians showcase their skills and gear while giving hirers an easy way to review profiles and manage responses in one place.

GOOGLE LOGIN
Feature Title: Google Login (Sign in with Google) What do you want: Allow users to sign in to Sonority using their existing Google account via OAuth 2.0. A "Sign in with Google" button on the login and registration screens would authenticate users instantly, without needing to create a separate email/password credential. Who does it help: All users — Musicians, Makers, Touring Pros, and Studios. Especially valuable for new users during onboarding, reducing friction at the sign-up stage and increasing conversion. Returning users benefit from one-tap access without remembering a password. Current workaround: Users must manually create and remember a separate Sonority email/password combination, or use a password manager. There is no social login shortcut currently available. Mockup or example: (optional) Reference: accounts.google.com/signin — standard "Sign in with Google" button (white pill button with Google logo). Common implementation examples: Spotify, Reverb, Bandcamp onboarding flows.
DISCORD LOGIN
Ability for users to use their Discord credentials to sign up/in to Discord. Here’s that version, cleaned up for public-facing use: Problem Many Sonority users are already active on Discord and expect to use their existing Discord account to access new music tools and communities. Having to create and manage a separate Sonority password adds friction, increases drop-off at signup, and creates yet another set of credentials for users to maintain. Proposed solution Add Discord as a social login option alongside existing authentication methods, allowing users to sign up and sign in with their Discord account in one click. This would use Discord’s OAuth2 flow (for example, identify and email scopes where available) to create or link a Sonority account, and then log the user in automatically on subsequent visits. Why this is valuable Reduced friction at signup for Discord-native musicians, techs and community members, leading to higher conversion and activation. Fewer passwords for users to remember, improving both security and user experience. Tighter alignment with Sonority’s existing Discord community and bots, making it easier to connect in‑app identities with Discord roles and channels in future. High-level acceptance criteria “Continue with Discord” button is available on both Sign up and Log in screens. New users can create a Sonority account using Discord OAuth (no separate password required), with basic profile data (name, avatar, email) pulled from Discord where possible. Existing Sonority users can link and unlink their Discord account from their profile/settings, and then use Discord to log in. Clear error handling if Discord authorization fails or is cancelled, with a simple way to retry or fall back to email login.
