Project Overview
Sound Shelter is a web platform (launched in 2018) that serves as a digital marketplace connecting vinyl record buyers with independent record stores. The platform generates revenue through:
- Affiliate sales
- Store inventory subscription listings
Key attributes:
- Helps users discover rare records that might otherwise be hard to find
- Supports small, independent record stores
- Provides a specialized marketplace for vinyl enthusiasts
The project creator notes that building a two-sided marketplace was more complex than initially anticipated but ultimately rewarding when successfully connecting buyers with unique vinyl records.
