I'm not exactly sure what you were expecting - the app has been live for a day

My thought process was that clicking allow or allow once would be less difficult for genuine users than searching for their city.

I agree with pretty much all this. I avoided in-app videos because of the complexity and cost of building a transcoding/streaming system. But I suppose audio-only wouldn't be too bad.

Good point, I do intend to add genre and instrument filtering. I figured I had some time to do that since there are barely any users. Not much point of having filtering if there are 5 people in your area.

Thanks for the feedback! Having a skip, but not reject sounds useful. I have in the roadmap a "don't limit to my area" option! Also plan to have some sort of inline playable sample on the profile, but haven't figured out

Since this is the first iteration, I went the easiest route where people link their SoundCloud/Spotify/or Youtube channel. I considered having MP3 uploads or even video uploads, but didn't seem worth it building a transcoding

I considered making my own profile visible to everyone regardless of distance.

A good chunk of my motivation for building this was to get learn React native and get experience with building out real-time messaging.

I figured that "allow once, approximate location" would be sufficient for the privacy conscious. A little scared to make it selectable, as it would make it much easier for spammers/scammers to target locations, as the only ve

Ah sorry - initially only launched in the US/Canada because I don't have translations set up. I suppose there is no reason to not make it available in the UK though.

In my spreadsheet of possible expansions, I do have "artist", "band" and "venue" specific profiles and some way to provide value to them, but I haven't really thought it through.

Haven't used Vampr. I made this in part because I did not enjoy the "retro" UX of BandMix and the fact that you have to pay money to send a message.

Hi, I'm here. I built this as an alternative to city-based Facebook groups (for people who don't use it) and in part to learn React Native. It lets you create an artist profile, view nearby ones, match with them, then have a real-

Is that a good or bad thing?

That is fair, I may have copied the tinder model too literally.

Thanks! I suppose the answer is that I didn't. It's pretty empty right now, besides friends and the results of a recent Meta ad campaign.

Thanks for checking it out. Ugh, I thought I had fixed the infinite spin, but it seems to happen on the first app open occasionally still - its related to permissions dialog I intend to add filtering, but didn't initially because 0 peo

How does one actually avoid this? e.g. Say your boss needs you to make a react native app - you start their default project, pull in a few Expo libraries for core functionality. At that point there are hundreds of third party libraries that

Plex does not work for me on my AT&T fiber - some peering issue (or intentional throttling?!) that makes movies fail to playback 50% of the time as if I'm on dialup or something. Got a cheap VPN to get around the issue and it works

Couldn't you sell a solid white panel and call it an invisibility shield?

I don't get how this is justification for individuals to pay artists zero with thus bypass. Indie musicians who grow to have 10-100k+ monthly streams are making a nice chunk of money from it.

My question is what happens when you veer off the happy path for a given task? Like if your hotel cancels, or thinks you didn't pay and you did? Seems like disasters waiting to happen.

Is it not unfair to their fellow restaurants that don't use this tactic and simply have good good chefs/cooks?

Also, with the QR code they stand there and expect you to write a review on the spot (which we've declined to do, rather awkwardly, every time)

Agree with you here, as long as they ask everyone (minus super rude customers). We've noticed here (by observing other tables), especially in the Hanoi, that they only give the QR code to people who enthusiastically answer and look lik

My issue with Godot is that I am bad at art. With Unity, I could affordably get pretty much ready to go assets and build a game, but with Godot, I don't know of any equivalent marketplaces.

There's a chance it's a logic bug or one plugin having some issues, I suppose
