Upvote from a guy in the same boat.
Just some thoughts and q's on the functionalities:
1. Will there be a way to search geographically for both the venue and the band? If you get enough publicity and traction on this, it could be the go-to place for finding local bands and their gigs.
2. A limited forum would be a good idea for newbs needing help.
3. Maybe adding a feature to create a band profile on the site would be a good premium item to offer. (ex. beatnex.com/localband)
4. There are events (not nec. venues, say a local music festival) that need bands or performers, maybe adding something for that as well.
5. Good luck!
I hope you find a good programmer and graphic artist + a UI and metrics specialist to work with.
- ABrandt 16y agoI knew there were others lurking among the discussions on Erlang... :) 1.) Geo filtering is definitely going to be key for us at some point. Right now the system is designed to handle this, its just a matter of implementation really. 2.) Documentation is a work in progress. I just wrote the FAQ today afterall 3.) Currently a band's dashboard is located at that URL, but you have to be signed in to use it. Beatnex was originally supposed to be a myspace music on steroids (among other things, read: many iterations). I'm focusing on the gigging niche for now to get my foot in the door, and hopefully expand. 4.) The events issue is something I haven't quite thought through yet honestly. I'm open to suggestions! 5.) Thanks, you too! I'd love to hear about what you're working on too. Shoot me an email if you care to share about struggles of a non-programmer in tech haha.
