So anyone can add bands to anyone else's list? And remove them? What's to stop me adding my band to everyone's list?
Also it can only find 3 albums for Slayer, none of which were released this millennium...
Other than that this is a great idea and nice looking website.
- lifebeyondfife 14y agoThe FAQ addresses some of these points. If you keep your username sufficiently unique and secret then no-one can edit your list. I wanted a really low barrier to entry for trying out the site i.e. no email addresses or login via a social media service. The service shows you albums from the last 5 years but that could also include re-releases (which might explain the Slayer weirdness). Thanks for trying it out and the compliments.
- GotAnyMegadeth 14y agoIt's certainly worth a try, but don't you think finding an unguessable username is more of an entry barrier than the usual username/password combo? You are right, it links to what looks like 2009 re-releases for those 3 albums, but it still doesn't have their 2009 actual release... That's ok, keep up the good work, will be even better when you integrate last.fm!
- lifebeyondfife 14y agoAn image upload site I know of used the same approach to 'login' and I quite liked it - I suppose the ideal configuration would be to give the user a choice. I had to nail down on feature creep at some point or I was never going to ship anything. I'll look into the missing album though, edge cases like that are handy to know about for data quality.
