Version: 1.0.0

Release Date: Jan 23, 2025

Overview:
The Song Investment App is a novel platform where users can upload their original music and allow others to invest in these songs using Solana cryptocurrency. This release introduces a unique fusion between music creation, blockchain investment, and AI-driven personalization.

Key Features:
Solana Wallet Authentication: Users can sign in using their Solana wallet, promoting a secure and decentralized identity verification system.
Song Uploading: Artists can upload MP3 or WAV files, providing a space for new talent to showcase their work.
Investment Mechanism: Users can invest in songs they believe in, with the potential for songs to gain popularity and value based on community investment.
User Profiles: Basic profile management where users can update their bio and view their song uploads or investment history.
Song Listing and Details: Browse through a list of songs, view detailed information including who uploaded the song, and current investment stats.
AI-driven Song Recommendations: A new feature that suggests songs to users based on their music preferences, enhancing discoverability and user engagement.

Technical Highlights:
Backend:
Built with Flask for a lightweight yet powerful Python web framework.
SQLAlchemy for database management, utilizing SQLite for simplicity (with the option for PostgreSQL in production).
Solana integration for wallet authentication and investment transactions (though currently simplified for educational purposes).
AI Recommendation System: A basic recommendation engine implemented with Python, providing personalized song suggestions.
Frontend:
React.js for a dynamic user interface, ensuring smooth navigation and interaction.
Basic CSS styling with plans for enhancements in future releases.
New components for displaying AI recommendations.
Deployment:
Docker and Docker Compose files are provided to facilitate easy deployment and scaling.
Separate containers for backend, frontend, and database, promoting modularity.

What's Included:
Backend Code: Python scripts for route handling, models, app initialization, and AI recommendation logic.
Frontend Code: React components and pages, including new AI recommendation display.
Configuration: Sample .env file for environment variables, config.py for Flask configuration.
Docker: Dockerfile for both backend and frontend to ensure consistent environments.
Documentation: An updated README.md detailing setup, usage, and future plans, including the new AI feature.

Limitations and Known Issues:
Simplified Solana Transactions: The current version uses placeholder logic for Solana transactions. Real-world applications would need client-side signing.
Security: While basic authentication is implemented, further security measures like proper HTTPS and more robust error handling are planned for future updates.
Performance: Designed for small-scale use; not optimized for high load or large datasets yet.
User Interface: The current UI is basic; more interactive and responsive designs are under consideration.
AI Recommendations: The initial AI system is rudimentary and can be enhanced with more advanced algorithms and data analysis.

Future Roadmap:
Enhanced UI/UX: More intuitive design, better mobile responsiveness, and interactive elements.
Advanced Solana Features: Real transaction handling, integration with more Solana tools.
Scalability: Database and storage solutions for handling growth, potentially moving to cloud solutions.
AI Enhancement: Improving the recommendation engine with machine learning or NLP for better accuracy and user experience.
Community Features: Voting systems, song ranking, and more social interaction features.
