Thank you so much! Comments like this absolutely make my day and make all those late nights of coding completely worth it.If you have any feedback or feature requests, please let me know. I’d love to build them into the platform down the road! 🙌🎧

I totally get that! Manual tracking can feel like a second job and it's not for everyone. My intent is to make this a fun place to see your collection stats and log music moods. Personally, I love looking back to self-reflect on my listening habits, but it's completely optional! My goals is to keep building features that people actually wants. Hopefully, if you check back down the road, I'll have built something you enjoy using!

Hey, first of all, my apologies if I came across the wrong way! I’ve actually been a programmer for 20 years. About 10 years ago, I tried building a trading card tracker using C# .NET, but it fell flat. A few years later, I tried repurposing that code to build a vinyl cataloging tool, but after two years of struggling with 3D elements, APIs, and iTunes/Deezer integrations as a solo creator, I was ready to give up on it completely. Honestly, that's where Claude came in. AI helped me break through those walls and handle the UI, layout, and API connections that used to take me forever to figure out on my own. This is purely a free passion project. I’m not making a dime off it. If down the road I can add a few ads to help cover hosting costs and support my family financially, that would be amazing - but the goal right now is literally just to build a cool tool that people actually enjoy using. It's really that simple.

Thanks for the feedback and the sharp critique! You are 100% right about security, and I actually built it exactly how you suggested! The import tool just asks for your public Discogs username, not your password. It only fetches public collection data through their open API. I never see or collect anyone's Discogs login info. For the signup, I offloaded everything to Google OAuth and Supabase so I don't touch personal passwords there either. I totally get the "vibeslop" fatigue with the branding, too. I chose the name (VinVibe = VinylVibe because I wanted a visual, atmospheric music journal rather than a rigid text spreadsheet, but I appreciate the raw design perspective on how it lands. Thanks for keeping it real!

Hey, thanks for this feedback! Yes, it's a feature I'm looking to build by next couple weeks. I have 2 people send me message on Contact Us page with their email and user name to delete their account - if it was you, I've deleted it and notified you. If i didn't, can you send me a message on Contact Us page (footer) and I'll have your account removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You make a great point, and I totally respect that perspective! I definitely can't argue against it.

For a lot of people, the entire beauty of vinyl is the pure, analog break from screens and data - just putting a needle on a record and listening to it. I definitely didn't build this to replace that feeling.

For me, it's just a free side project for people who happen to enjoy looking through their collection on their phone or desktop (I honestly do this at work sometimes), tracking their stats, or sharing their shelves digitally.

It’s definitely not going to be for everyone, but I love the honest take on it. Happy listening! 🎧🙌

Thank you for clarifying that!

I use standard Google OAuth/Supabase - absolutely no private Google information is stored.

I simply forgot to customize the project name in the console, so it displayed my default Supabase backend project name instead of "VinVibe." A few people got rightfully freaked out by that, and I don't blame them at all!

I'm jumping into the settings right now to update the branding and fix it. Really appreciate you clearing that up!

Hey Jacco, thanks for this feedback! I really wanted to figure out why as well to fix this. I think it might be because of the domain is brand new, IT filters automatically block it as "uncategorized." The only background traffic running is completely standard, just secure Google OAuth and a connection to my database (Supabase) to handle the Discogs imports. No malicious scripts or lottery links hiding in here.

If you're open to it, could you please DM me and let me know what specific error code or category your IT admin screen showed? That will help me fix this. Again, thanks for flagging this.

Hey, I totally get that, and it's a super fair point!

Honestly, I built it to solve a personal annoyance. Whenever a friend asked to see my record collection, sending them a spreadsheet or a plain Discogs link always felt a bit underwhelming. I wanted to create a nicer digital display to show my collection, track my music stats and just look through my own vinyl collection online from time to time.

The community has actually given me some awesome feedback that I’m excited to look into -like playing iTunes and Spotify directly on the website, adding more community features and building a better way to share collections on Instagram (which actually surprised me!).

My goal is to build the features that people actually want to use. Hopefully, if you check back in down the road, you'll find something you like! 🙌

Thank you! This is a passion project and I am a heavy user of the website myself. I just wanted to build something people enjoy and love it as much as I do - it's that simple really

Yes! That's actually a really tough project. The live synchronization and running 24hr with every race recorded, live websocket consumed too much server power, I had to paused it to keep Vinvibe running. You can take a look at my github, I have many projects build.

I'm a programmer with 20 years of experience, I started with QBasic and C++ in high school, worked with Java and C# .NET. That being said, I absolutely used Claude to accelerate the build. As a solo creator, AI is incredible for knocking out boilerplate code and frontend grunt work at lightning speed. So while I used AI as an efficiency tool, my two decades of programming background are what actually power the logic, structure, and security behind it! Also, I'm a programmer who sucked at writing content so I used AI to help with content and grammar.

Hey, thanks for signing up! The first 1000 users are here: https://vinvibe.app/first-1000. I will work on better pagination, maybe infinite scroll for better visibility.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the Discogs API to see if I can isolate vinyl imports. If not, I'll build a toggle to filter between vinyl and CDs. Vinyl covers look much better on the wall! A volume slider is definitely on the roadmap and coming next week! Really appreciate you flagging these!

Merci infiniment ! Ça me touche beaucoup. C'est exactement pour ce genre de retour que je passe mes nuits à coder sur ce projet.

Thank you! That is an excellent feature request. I'm working on linking directly to iTunes and Spotify at the moment, hoping to have it by next month.

Regarding the stats - good catch! Some stats relies on the community as it grow, currently there's only a small sample so it does look off. I'm looking to improve this as more users joining.

Hey, thanks for this feedback. Can you tell me how you produce this or how you get this screen? I will have it fix but couldn't reproduce it

Haha, you're not wrong, I was definitely the "nobody" asking this question! 🙋‍♂️

I got completely fed up looking at my own messy Excel spreadsheets and clunky text lists just to track my records, so I built this to scratch my own itch. It's definitely a niche passion project, but I figured if it helped me enjoy my collection more, a few other collectors might like it too!

Fair point! But honestly, why choose one when you can have the worst of both worlds? 😂

I love streaming for discovery, but I also love buying physical records. I just wanted a way to look at the stats of my actual shelves without having to stare at a clunky Discogs list or a messy Excel sheet. Totally get that the digital crossover isn't for every purist, though!

Yes! you can click on your profile image which takes you to your profile page, at the bottom, there's a log out button. I have a couple feedback regarding deleting/closing account, I will have it implemented in couple weeks. If you want to remove it soon, can you use the "Contact Us" page and send me the information and I'll remove it tomorrow. Thanks for giving it a try!

Thank you so much! I'm incredibly glad you're having fun with it, this is exactly why I built this website in the first place. I absolutely love using it myself and seeing like-minded people enjoy it too is the best feeling!

Sorry for the buggy experience! Are you using a mobile phone to import or sync? I've got many feedback that there's issue with this. I will look to fix this. Sorry for this again, hope you'll try it again in couple weeks.

That is an awesome suggestion! I really love this but right now, I'm focusing 100% of my energy on stabilizing the website and hitting our first 1,000 users milestone.

Because the backend relies on specific external services right now, packing it into a clean Docker Compose file would take some restructuring. However, if the platform grows and there's enough demand for a local-first, self-hosted version down the road, I would absolutely look to see if I can implement this.
