🎡 I Built the World's First Email Music Studio with Postmark

What I Built
EmailBeats transforms simple emails into musical beats! Send "kick snare kick" to our email address and receive back a generated audio track with shareable link.

Demo:
The website
The video tutorial
The GitHub repo

How I Built This
Tech Stack:

  • Vue.js 3 + Tailwind CSS
  • Firebase Functions + Firestore
  • Postmark Inbound Email Parsing
  • Tone.js for audio synthesis

The Magic Behind EmailBeats:

  1. User sends email to "[email protected]"
  2. Postmark webhook triggers Firebase Function
  3. AI parses text into musical sequences
  4. Tone.js generates audio in real-time
  5. User receives link to their unique beat

Why EmailBeats Changes Everything
Email isn't just for communication anymore - it's a creative canvas!
We've turned the most universal digital tool into a music studio accessible to everyone.

Postmark Integration
EmailBeats showcases Postmark's inbound parsing in a completely novel way:

  • Real-time email-to-audio transformation
  • Automated response with rich media links
  • Seamless user experience from inbox to music creation
