Overview
SheetShed is a musician library: upload PDF/images, view fullscreen, organize, share via links/QR, Stripe plans. Expo ~50 web on Firebase `sheetshed-b9586`, live at sheetshed-b9586.web.app.
Why
Musicians juggle PDFs, camera rolls, and binders. There was no simple library with a performance viewer and a shareable setlist. SheetShed is that library: upload, organize, fullscreen view, share via link or QR, Stripe plans.
Relevant to any “files but for performance” product. A file manager is not enough. The viewer has to work on the stand.
The challenge
Musicians juggle PDFs, photos, and paper across gigs. There was no simple library with a performance viewer and a shareable setlist.
What made it hard
- Repertoire lived in binders, camera rolls, and random PDFs.
- Performance needed a viewer, not a file manager.
- Sharing a setlist with a bandmate had to be a link or QR, not an email attachment.
Approach
Library grid + in-browser viewer (auto page-turn / BPM scroll documented in SHEETSHED.md), embed, plans, settings, admin. Firebase Storage for the files; Stripe for tiers.
Process
- Library: Drag-and-drop upload and organization.
- Performance: Viewer, embed, page-turn concepts.
- Billing: Stripe plans and admin.
What we built
- Sheet library: PDF/image upload with favorites and organization.
- Performance viewer: Fullscreen in-browser viewing aimed at the stand, not the desktop folder.
- Share + QR: Links and codes so a setlist is not a zip file.
- Stripe plans: Subscription tiers and admin tooling.
How it was built
Expo ~50 web on Firebase `sheetshed-b9586`. Firebase Storage for files. Library grid, in-browser viewer (auto page-turn / BPM scroll documented in SHEETSHED.md), embed, plans, settings, admin.
Stripe for subscription tiers. Live at sheetshed-b9586.web.app. Sharing is a link or QR so a setlist is not a zip file.

Hard parts
- Not a Drive folder: Repertoire lived in binders and camera rolls. The product had to be a library, not another dump.
- Performance mode: A viewer, not a file manager. Page-turn / BPM concepts exist because gigs are not desktops.
- Share without email: Bandmates needed a link or QR, not an attachment that dies in spam.
