"After thoroughly studying user behaviour over time, we realized that the app needs a better library as well as a separate solo listening experience. How do we become our user's primary app, rather than Spotify or Soundcloud?"
That paragraph started to scratch the surface of what I mentioned earlier - what kinds of feedback did you get? What were you learning? Why did you want to become a primary music app rather than an extension to Spotify/SC? Would creating a separate solo listening experience fragment the apps functionality and distract from the original problem you were trying to solve (real time sharing)?
And then at the end, things end suddenly. Which is totally fine, but I felt like there was more you could have talked about. More about what the next steps were, what you learned, what you would have done differently if you had more time + resources. All of those things feel useful as a post-mortem kind of exercise and offer a lot of insights into how you think about building products.
Anyways, that's a rough braindump. I'd be curious to hear what you or other people agree/disagree with - of course, this is all just my opinions :)

I agree with Brian's feedback on giving more context on why you've made some decisions in the first places and what were the goals and did the final (current) product achieved the goals or not and why.
1Also this serif typeface seems a bit weird:
was it on purpose? Or maybe ad blockers on my browser mess up the fonts
Also the case study preview hover animation is cool but also just a bit too over the top for me. I'd slow it down and turn it down a notch to make it a bit more subtle

Hey Sherzod! I've got similar feedback regarding the serif from a few of my friends as well. Do you think that green color works though? It's just the font right? I'm going to spend some time figuring out what font to use.
Hey Brian! Can't thank you enough for actually going through the whole case study! My previous website just had a bunch of photos/videos and didn't explain my process. That's why I went through the case study route. As you can see I am a bit of a Padawan in writing these case studies. You've given some great pointers. I'm going to go back and edit them
