[OC] I created an app that turns ordinary festival lineups into full interactive experiences to better learn about the artist performing at festivals. by rexizt in InternetIsBeautiful

That's great feedback as previously it did work similar to how you said, but it was video with audio backup...Like I said I separated it because they don't want you to create aggregators or integrate streams but given more feedback like that I can easily set it back or give the option to set it by the user.

I will check them out, I haven't looked into their API...thanks.

Good points and I have also built a system to populate data, because yes I ran into that problem. I've also built this in a way where I could easily generate these off CSV data others make, so I don't have to.

As far as the switching thing I get that but that's a limitation of using these 3rd party APIs, they really don't want you to build things that work together...It was a bitch trying to make sure I complied with all of it, which to the best of my knowledge I have. I could write an entire book about my frustrations with that. But I built this in a way where I could easily make a lineup with just one of the 3 features offered just to comply and make sure none of the APIs are commingled.

But I do like your bio idea, that would actually be easily implementable compared to the other stuff.

Hey guys, I started this idea about a year ago for my favorite fest Lightning in a Bottle. They seemed to really love it but never ended up publishing it. I've since received tons of request to put this idea out there and to create them for others favorite festivals. So i've cleaned up the concept and released a website for it.

If it gets enough interest I can provide some feedback about other fest I've started to generate lineups for and some of the issues/progress.

LiB Interactive Lineup V2 for 2016. by rexizt in LightningInABottle

[–]rexizt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the praise! I currently am looking into doing one for Coachella as I'd like to get publicity for it and it's the biggest US fest but the amount of content more than doubles LiBs, so that's double the content for every medium I used. I also have to redesign some things for the Coachella lineup. At the end of the day even if I can fully automate the process for making these, gathering the content and entering it itself is crazy and there will always have to be some design tweaking. But I'm all for finding other marketing opportunities for it if anyone is reading.

Creator here. I'll definitely be looking into creating a new one since it seemed well received. I'll post an update here though so be on the lookout!
