# Pianotify

> Pianotify is a community-driven piano platform where users upload, share, and play piano content — MIDI files, PDF sheet music, and video covers. Each piece has its own page with an interactive piano-roll player, ratings, comments, and community-contributed metadata. Free members can browse, play a preview, rate, comment, and favorite content; downloading and PDF printing are reserved for Premium and the free trial, each with a daily quota.

Pianotify supports 16 languages and was created in 2021.

## What users find on Pianotify

- Interactive MIDI player that renders a piano-roll visualization and plays back directly in the browser
- Piano sheet music in PDF form, viewable online or downloadable
- Video covers of piano pieces performed by community members
- MuseScore import: uploaders can submit a MuseScore source (.mscz) and Pianotify converts it into a piano-roll player, a MIDI file, and a PDF score
- Browsing by genre (Classical, Jazz, Film Score, K-Pop, Anime, Video Game…), by artist (validated against MusicBrainz), and by difficulty (Easy → Extreme)
- Collections: user-curated playlists of uploads
- Song requests: members ask the community to transcribe or record a given piece
- Social: follow other users, follow artists, favorites, ratings, comments, activity feed, notifications

## Free vs Premium

- Premium accounts get full-length playback, daily download and print-PDF quotas, and can publish video covers
- A short free trial is available before subscribing monthly or yearly

## Upload URL patterns

Each public upload type has its own URL pattern:
- MIDI: `/midi-player/{uniqueKey}/{slug}`
- Sheet music: `/sheet-music/{uniqueKey}/{slug}`
- Video cover: `/video-cover/{uniqueKey}/{slug}`

URLs are locale-prefixed (e.g. `/en/...`, `/fr/...`). The default `pianotify.com` redirects to the detected locale. English URLs may omit the `/en` prefix.
