Everything you need to cover Pepite. Assets, quotes, direct contact.

In two sentences: Pepite is a free French website that scans your Spotify or Deezer library and tells you, on a 100% comedy scale, how gay-coded, pride-coded or black-coded your music is. Built by a solo indie dev for Pride Month 2026 — open source, no ads, no tracking.

💡 Story angles

French indie dev. Solo project, vanilla JS + Cloudflare Workers, AGPL-3.0 code on GitHub. The anti-monopoly take on music streaming gimmicks.
Pride meme tool. Designed for TikTok/Insta sharing: oversized score, snarky tier labels, downloadable card.
Algorithmic profiling, but make it funny. Where Spotify Wrapped is sterile and corporate, Pepite is absurd and warm. Same data, treated as a joke between friends.
Coop platform (V1). The roadmap heads toward an open, coop-owned video platform with Lightning Bitcoin monetisation — alternative to TikTok/YouTube.
Short video format. 5–15s demo perfect for reels: scan in progress → 87% result → reaction. Embedded tutorial.

❓ Quick FAQ

Is it free? What's the catch?

Yes, 100% free. No account required to test — importing your library is enough. No ads, no third-party cookies, no data resale. Funded out of pocket; long-term goal is a coop-owned model.

How does the scoring work?

A grid of music tags ("gay-coded", "pride-coded", "black-coded") is applied to each track in the library. The score is a weighted average. The grid is deliberately subjective and funny — it's comedy, not science.

Why a "Black" test?

Affinity with Black music (soul, hip-hop, R&B, gospel, jazz). Same format as the other two tests. Tier label is celebratory, not mocking.

Is the code open source?

Yes, AGPL-3.0 at github.com/LmrTristan/Pepite. Forks welcome, self-hosting encouraged.

Does Pepite collect my Spotify data?

Processing is local (browser-side). No library export is stored server-side. Only anonymous UUIDs and event counters for traffic measurement. Fully GDPR-compliant, see the privacy policy.

Is there an extension?

Yes, a Chrome extension (published May 24, 2026) that replaces YouTube's algorithmic suggestions with your own curated playlists. Free on the Chrome Web Store, ID hddmhggcnfibbnfcjplfboklmnbmopml.

Mobile-friendly?

Yes, the site is a PWA (Progressive Web App) installable on Android and iOS — appears as an app on the home screen.
