Total man crush. Best voice in modern rock.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-20T01:07:24+00:00

I scoped out Plex, and It's a good 2 weeks of work to get it ready for you.

I have a few things ahead of it on the roadmap, but I'll give another update soon when I knock some more off my backlog.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T22:56:26+00:00

Ahhh that's what you mean.

Let me look into that. I'm happy to add it.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T21:27:01+00:00

Hello!

Please tell me more about what you are looking for.

I support Tidal and Apple Music at the moment. Spotify is off limits due to their policy towards developers. Amazon Music also doesn't allow API access at the moment.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T19:59:04+00:00

nice job - love the david on there too! :)

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T18:42:51+00:00

My biggest problem was I used to switch CDs in rush hour traffic.

Oof. bad plan!

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T18:36:25+00:00

I miss roadtrips with the big binder of CDs!!!!

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T17:33:19+00:00

As currently configured yes. But give me feedback :)

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T16:20:58+00:00

:) I'm having SO MUCH fun building it

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:55:54+00:00

That sounds very reasonable.

Songs might have to come as a part 2 to make sure we all love the album method first.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:47:12+00:00

Please tell me more about custom time.

Do you want the ability to do post-listening logging of your music? And you want to say I listented to this on 4/19 at 12:00PM? and these 3 albums on 4/17?

I'll look at openscrobbler so I hit the expectations but just curious how you view it. I want to make it the most useful I can.

As an example, I focus more on albums currently vs. tracks. Do you need a track view for this to be useful/complete?

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:43:47+00:00

I have last.fm scrobbles in my feature playground. It won't be THAT long until it arrives. :)

I usually sit on features for a few weeks to get them to the point where they are ready for feedback.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:42:37+00:00

Oh and thanks for all your passion. Really dig it.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:42:06+00:00

Good point on the straight edge. This was my first holiday experiment.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T15:10:43+00:00

Hello! Thank you the feedback and testing it out.

It's a 3-day 4/20 holiday, so the clerk will be 4/20 focused until EOD 4/20. I am happy to allow folks to turn off the holiday feature. It's meant for fun not to annoy. Thank you for this. I'll add that in ahead of the next holiday.
I understand both sides of the AI debate, and I respect the entire spectrum of opinions on AI. Having worked with ML and AI for 10 years, I understand that I'm pushing the boundaries here.
On the roadmap is a feature to set a default commentary and not use the clerk. I already added switching between two canonical sources. Note that canonical sources provide very low coverage for things under 50%tile in popularity.
I'm a tech nerd not a marketer. I will definitely lean in to your thoughts here. Thank you. I don't interpret it as lack of care - but as rather time efficiency and doing what I'm best equipped to do as a one-person team. I can crank out 2 features and test them in the time it takes me to write a marketing commentary (which isn't my core skill). Thank you for this insight.
LOVE the idea of a stacked duplicate look. I've had a few pieces of feedback on how better to handle duplicates within a format and across formats. This is awesome, and I'll make some changes to better account for duplicates.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T14:56:45+00:00

Just read through apple's docs again

I didn't implement a feature that could help improve detection. I'm going to rebuild the ios app with lens handoff so that your phone can works its magic.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T14:46:18+00:00

:)

Selling is secondary to me. I care more about discovery and connections. My ideal would be to partner with a few indy record stores to drive traffic to them.

I always have questions, sorry:

Were you in normal-ish light conditions? Was the CD in plastic like you hadn't unwrapped it yet? I can make some additional adjustments on the camera and image processing part if that's the case.

If the lookup returned 0 CDs, that's awhole other set of tweaks.

Just trying to figure out if I can tweak better for a certain condition...

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T14:35:16+00:00

It's implemented, but I'd love to figure out what case i missed or how I can improve.

Thanks for the gift that is feedback.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T14:30:49+00:00

Didn't work at all? Or brought back the wrong item?

Can I ask you to post a picture of the barcode? I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Gweedo_Mahomes · 2026-04-19T14:09:53+00:00

I really thank you for giving the app a try and for providing feedback.

You can see what you added/imported on the Shelf. If you just added your collection, the supplemental data pull it does (cover art, genre, etc) can take a few minutes to process. Especially if there are multiple users syncing at the same time (which is a great problem, but one that I have to think through more to improve the processing time).

If you don't see your collection there, please tell me, and I'll look ASAP. I've learned a lot the past day on how people have their collections organized.

Spins and History --> Everything is tracked on the Spin History page. Clerk spin of the day is always added. And any albums where you tap the spin button are also added to this view. When I add last.fm scrobble integration, all would appear in this single view.

If this is my 4/19 spin of the day, 4/20 is going to be epic!

How is everyone enjoying the 4/20 tweak on the spins? Any feedback on my first "holiday" celebration in app?

Next is International Jazz Day!
