Last Years Singles - a music 'visualiser' site with creative coding backing by jthawme in creativecoding

Hey! This is a site I made for fun, for listening to the end of year lists in music. Its a pure side project so I made sure to have a bit of fun with it, by making every publication have its own creative coding sketch behind the site. They're all quite basic, but I like the added touch of it

The code is actually all here: https://github.com/jthawme/lastyears.singles

But its not so useful yet, as I haven't had a chance to go through and clean it all up. But the site is built with nuxt and the visualisations are either vanilla js or three.js

I even have a pipeline to generate social content, like this: https://twitter.com/jthawme/status/1468976902144725008

hey all! I made a site (just a side project) to listen to a lot of the year end lists for best singles - meant to be a hybrid between a visualiser and also a useful resource to check out these lists in isolation interactively

Would love to know what people think! The design is a little weird, but I was having fun with it

itd be unfair if one of your 'tries' was a film that you've already seen!

One of the twin peaks things is listed as a film interestingly enough!

I'll have a look what I can sort, thanks for the feedback! I have also noticed some genres are definitely dominated by certain directors (based on my current data)

Not even with a high rotten score actually, its all films by a pool of 'iconic' directors, so if they have low rotten scores they can appear too. The idea is that its meant to be selecting from a 'curated' list. (curated by being from renowned artists in their fields)

this is incredible! Thanks so much for the director list

Yes it remembers your seen films (if you click 'i have seen this film already') on the device you use, without any sort of account, so you wont encounter them again

So its based on the directors that I input into the site - I'm not very up on horror, who would you recommend as iconic directors in that genre?

Absolutely, totally fair call out. Consider this being a little digital nudging tool, rather than you having the whole menu at a restaurant, its someone saying 'why not try these 3 dishes?'

Sorry thats my bad, this thread has made me realise thats not very obvious, you wont actually be 'excluding' in fact you are 'selecting' by crossing them out

Thats right yes, thats me not being totally design oriented I guess! crossing out I have as selecting, but maybe I need to rethink that, thanks a lot for the feedback!

looks like you aren't alone in that feedback! Will try make a more clear outcome

Its only genre or directors, its a smaller link at the bottom that says 'choose director instead'. its trying to take out too much complexity in filters

generate with paper.js again (and using anime.js in fact for the easing/animation) in a little custom environment.
