Hey, thanks for the feedback!
This was hacked together in an hour this morning so I wasn't able to go too deep but I'd like to try and improve it for sure. Sadly Bandcamp don't have a public API for searching any more, so I'd need to do some kind of scraping to ascertain whether an artist has a profile... not ideal I know!
Patreon is a great idea, any other suggestions for destinations also welcome. Record shops is one possibility. I'm not sure if iTunes etc. is, not sure how much the artist sees from that!
- iicc 8y agoYou could use the data from musicbrainz eg https://musicbrainz.org/artist/7d0e8067-10b9-4069-95dc-1110a0fbb877/relationships https://musicbrainz.org/artist/7d0e8067-10b9-4069-95dc-1110a...
- tomduncalf 8y agoWow, I didn’t know musicbrainz had that kind of info. Will look into that for sure, thanks for the pointer!
- anentropic 8y agoit looks like it's not updated automatically from anywhere though e.g. I have three albums all released via CD Baby, Bandcamp and iTunes. If I search for myself in Musicbrainz I only find the first album, and I'm guessing I probably added that myself manually and didn't think to do it for the others, years later
