👋 Hi, I’m Joe, the developer behind Albums.

Music has always been a big part of my life. I grew up playing classical music on the piano and violin, where the composer tells a story from start to finish. Later, I fell in love with the seamless transitions Linkin Park built into Meteora, stringing every track together into one nonstop piece.

Both of those shaped the way I listen. I like hitting play on an album and following the story the artist is trying to tell, with all its ebbs and flows, okay with the fact that not every track is designed to be a hit.

Over the years, as the big music apps drifted away from albums toward playlists and singles, I wanted a place where albums came first. So I built Albums in my spare time, for anyone who’d rather listen the same way.

Thanks for checking it out. I hope it brings you as much joy as I’ve had building it over the years.
