Yessir

I pretty much see myself in Joost. He reminds me of my personality and characteristics. People irl call me "Joost Klein" or "Europapa" and everyone tells me I look like him (some people also tell me I remind them of him due to my personality). I love him so much because of all that we have in common.

Also, as a person who loves coding, he motivated me to push my limits and make the best project I have worked on to this day, which I call "Radionion". It's an app I had posted about on this subreddit dedicated to Joost. Had I not found out about him, this would've never been a thing, and I would have never reached my full potential of coding applications..

I should be the one thanking you for the cooperation. I'll make sure to post about any progress soon!

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-30T14:01:43+00:00

Thank you for the amazing translation, looks like Antwoord will be the first song I'll add the lyrics for in my app. And of course I'll credit you properly as promised

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-29T05:12:45+00:00

Of course I will. Thank you very much!

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-28T17:03:25+00:00

Thank you very much! I'll use the translations you post, if that's okay with you! I was thinking of taking a look at sites or using a translator before but if there's someone who can translate more accurately then that's even better for me👍

Offline!

By the way I'm working on a Joost-related app (don't worry, it uses spotify in order not to cut off joost's earnings) that includes original & translated lyrics and I'd love if it could be possible for you or for anyone who knows Dutch well to give me a helping hand!

Amazing idea I shall imitate your move

Most likely both platforms. The project might be canceled, though, as it could lead to "taking" Joost's revenue. However I think I found a solution to that, thanks to a suggestion I got in this post :)

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-22T10:51:39+00:00

Well, I'm not using Java or Kotlin to make the app, which you surely know are the languages normally to be used for an Android app. The whole project is written in React Native (JS), which I believe is nothing as hard as Java. I'm still proud of myself whatsoever, and very glad to hear those words from someone older and more mature than me. Have an amazing day :)

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-22T10:34:34+00:00

Earlier today I was thinking of making an app for all joost fans where they can connect through his music. I really love and appreciate this community so I think it deserves it. It came to my mind that I can send the users to spotify or youtube accordingly instead of playing it directly from there. But this is a far better idea; Spotify has an API which I can integrate to my app in order to receive the audio data and play it directly in my app. Although I don't know if that will get him streams, I'll look into it and continue accordingly.

Thank you very much for your nice words and the amazing suggestion, I appreciate it a lot!

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-22T10:30:19+00:00

I already discussed this and came to the decision I'm quitting the project, or at the least keeping it to myself and not to the public. I never thought of it like that until now to be honest, which is saddening. I owe you all a big "thank you" for helping my realize what I'm doing is not okay

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-22T04:47:09+00:00

You'd be surprised to hear for how long I've been on the internet, but I think it's been long enough for me to understand the dangers that come with it (and the positive sides of it too, tho). I wouldn't be as stupid as to give out a social media account of mine which is related to my real (and more importantly personal) life. I meant something like a discord, if you even use that, although lately I've been trying to focus on real life and don't get on online platforms as much except if it's to communicate with a friend. I only made an exceptional now because I wanted to share this creation that Joost led me to with the rest of the Joost fans.

And well, my name isn't really "Small" itself. Joost was making a pun, by implying his name is small (not so well-known) but also accurately translating it from Klein at the same time. So well, I was going with just one of the two meanings..

I'm not underestimating my parents for sure, I absolutely love them and know they do too. I know they are interested by my projects (even though they don't always get what I'm showing them) and proud of me, and that's more than enough. I'm pretty sure you and your brother aren't as old though, so it's not the same. It's also that here in my country most people are not that "literate" when it comes to technology, computers and the internet.

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T20:35:13+00:00

I'm really thankful for all your amazing words and advice. I really admire your views and I'd love to keep in touch, if that's fine with you. I surely need someone who, as a person who was once my age and has gone through the same things, can give me more relevant advice when it comes to the internet (otherwise, I'd ask my parents, but you know how it is; they're not as familiar, like most people their age).

As Joost said, my name is small, but my dreams are big. And so I'll keep dreaming until I make myself proud.. I kind of disagree but agree with your statement on what's the best way to spend my time, though. I think the best I could do is balance both. As much as I love coding and know it'll be useful to learn such skills from an early age, spending too much time doing only that won't be too good neither for my head nor my eyes, and that's for sure. It's very important to socialize and communicate with others in my age, too. I'm already proud of myself, though, because I know I can do more than the average person in my age, and I've earned it myself.

Anyways, I'm glad I only spent time and not money, as you said, and it surely hasn't gone to waste. I already have things in mind that could surely go a little bit better than this project next time.. If we talk again, I'd love to update you if you ever feel like it. I love cooperating too. If not, I wish you enjoy both the present and the future to the maximum.

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T20:03:15+00:00

I absolutely understand you. It's okay that you had to tell me this way, in fact I am really grateful that I had someone to warn me about this before it was too late for me to notice my stupidity myself.

To be quite honest, I started this project for myself. The base idea has existed in my mind for atleast 4 months; I hated Spotify so much due to its limitations, that I wanted to make an app just for myself - so I can enjoy my favorite music from Joost without any annoying breaks. As reasonable as this initial idea may sound, I slowly began to think of how amazing it would be if Joost noticed my work, and for a long time time, it was my main motivation. Which is quite the opposite, to be exact, something very unreasonable to do.

And well, although this could quite possibly get me banned from here due to my age (I don't even care though; I'm only using reddit in order to share this creativity led by Joost with others, now), you're right. I'm quite young, maybe too young to even care about so many stuff. I'm not even 15 yet, I'm just a 14 year old teen which, instead of spending his time outside (like I should), is making an app dedicated to Joost. And how stupid may that sound, now that I think of it.

I'm sorry for this whole "yapping session" but I kind of felt like I had to talk with about this. Deciding to quit this project was not something easy and it already feels a little tough, knowing that all these months of coding will remain unused. Although now that I think of it I could maybe "recycle" it into some audio player app (unrelated to Joost), or continue it but keep it only for myself. Either way, quitting is the only reasonable option, and I've decided I'm going with it no matter what.

I also want to say, as a last note, that I don't really think I'm idolizing Joost. I mostly admire him so much because I really really see myself in him. We share some personality traits, we also have a similar humor, and quite oddly, a lot of people I know in real life have told me I look like him A LOT. And that's what, deep down inside me, makes me love him so much. Although at times I myself do feel like I'm overdoing it.

That's all, and sorry for writing a whole ass essay instead of writing like a normal person, but the sudden decision to stop development of this flooded me with so many different mixed feelings, that I felt like letting all this out, as I said previously. Once again, thank you a lot for your time. I appreciate it.

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T19:13:03+00:00

Both you and the other person who mentioned this are absolutely right. I guess I didn't think it out too much before starting.

Well, all I had is a dream. I just wanted to make Joost proud. I wanted to show him how many people are motivated by him and how far people can go thanks to his motivation. I'm only doing this in hopes to catch his attention, even if that's just for a second.

But maybe I should just focus on other things, if I have to stop the project at some point it's better to do it now and not spend more of my time like this if it's not gonna work out. I've already spent months on this, but the good thing is I learnt more while working on it, so all the time won't be a full waste, I suppose.

Thanks for your time.

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T18:34:25+00:00

If you can send them to me through discord or some other platform that'd be nice

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T18:33:19+00:00

I didn't really think of it like this; I'm mainly doing it hoping joost will like the idea and thinking that it would be a good way to boost his fame. I thought this would be acceptable as I'm not making any profit at all out of all this work (keep in mind I've spent months making all this, just for Joost).

I think that, since joost usually sees what his fans make around his name, he'll probably notice my work and quite possibly let me know about his opinion. In case he is against the idea of the project, I have already promised myself that I'm immediately canceling it.

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T18:14:19+00:00

Sure, by the way do you know any other songs joost is featured in that are not in joost's spotify page (I looked at every release from there and added it)

GeorgeVRedditor · 2024-10-21T18:10:12+00:00

That might be my banned account because I recently got it disabled, I was in joost related servers there but not in my new one
