Myronay

A planning and analytics tool for independent musicians. You tell it what you actually want out of music — to finish and release things, to play live, to build an audience, to get paid, to get better, to work with other people — and it works out what to do next and when there’s enough data to say anything at all.

That last part is the whole product.

Silence is a feature

At seven monthly listeners, almost nothing is measurable. Most tools in this category will draw a trend line through it anyway, and hand you a confident story about a number that is indistinguishable from noise. This one won’t. It tells you how long it would take before a change of a given size could even be seen, and then stays quiet until then.

The arithmetic decides what is true. The writing only decides what it means, and is not allowed to claim more than the numbers carry. Anything never recorded stays empty all the way to the screen — “not measured” rather than “not met”, because those are different sentences and only one of them is fair.

There’s also a list of ten goals the product refuses to offer: release every four to six weeks, post n times a week, hit a follower count. The folklore that circulates with citations attached and still traces back to nothing.

I built it because I have been the artist it is for, and the advice I was given was mostly confident and mostly unfounded. It’s in single-artist beta.
