## Overview

RHYTHM is a browser-only music collaboration prototype. Artists enter through the web app, create profiles and music posts, discover creators, collaborate, and explore simulated auctions; generated previews and local persistence support that experience. The main app also documents moderation, account controls, and legal pages. The graph includes earlier reference snapshots because they are substantial indexed modules. Some feature-level internals are unsampled, so edges show only documented or excerpted relationships.

Main entry points: [`app.js`](https://github.com/black-butterfly-codes/rhythm/blob/main/app.js) (App experience), [`index.html`](https://github.com/black-butterfly-codes/rhythm/blob/main/index.html) (Web shell), [`style.css`](https://github.com/black-butterfly-codes/rhythm/blob/main/style.css) (Responsive interface), [`audio.js`](https://github.com/black-butterfly-codes/rhythm/blob/main/audio.js) (Preview synth)
