On the wire

A voice-first music blog · 2027

You have
something to say.

Every song you've ever loved is sitting in your library, unremarked. CueCue is where you finally say why. Hit record, talk, and own a file that's a clip, a post, and a receipt — all at once.

Now in private testing. macOS first — Windows & Linux next. Every cue is a file you own.

One file. Three things at once.

A blog post that's also a song
that's also a receipt.

Your cue is a single file — a Score cartridge. It doesn't live in anyone's database. It's yours, and it's three things at the same time.

This lives in your menu bar.
Cans on, night mode, dig in.

CueCue watches what's playing and it's always one keystroke from a reaction. Your crate on the left, the network on the right, everything you've said in the middle.

You're not shouting into a void

A network, not a feed.

CueCue is a web of independent blogs that talk to each other — the way the blogosphere used to, before the platforms swallowed it. Chronological, algorithm-free, yours to leave whenever.

AI

No generative AI. Anywhere.

Nothing here writes for you. Nothing generates a take, a review, or a recommendation. The words are yours — in your own voice. The only machine learning in CueCue is Whisper turning your recording into text, on your own device. It transcribes what you said; it never makes anything up.

No AI-written takes No recommendation algorithm No AI deciding what you see Just Whisper, transcribing your voice

The blogroll

The live wire across the top, the standing list down the side. New cues from across the network as they land — because they're new, not because a model ranked them.

Chronological · no algorithm

Share the file, not a link

Share a cue and you share the file — it opens as a player, a post, or a preview card depending on where it lands. One object, every surface. It carries its own proof.

The omniglot travels

Blogs that talk back

Every blog links out to the ones it reads. Cues reference cues. A take can respond to a take. The network is a conversation between independent sites — everybody's front porch.

The web, not a platform

For artists

The realest listener data
you've ever had.

Every cue about your track is signed and timestamped — provenance you can trust. Claim your music and hear what people actually said, in their own voices, with proof they said it. Not a like count. A person, talking.

It's structured, attributable, and impossible to fake — reactions captured the moment the song ends, while it's still in the room.

So?
Say it.

Your library is full of songs you never said a word about. That's a lot of opinions sitting in silence. This is where they go.
