Noticed this post recently, I haven't really kept track much of last.fm as of late, but it I happened to post about my scrobble.life website there (hope I didn't break any rules), anyway, the post was from the last.fm team:
The fun things that stood out to me, because it's something I've already implemented on scrobble.life without knowing there's demand for it or that last.fm may have removed them, from top comment:
Which we have per song, both regular discussion/comments on the song as a whole and timed snippets for a certain part of it:
This one was especially convenient for scrobble.life:
If our website/servers ever go down, anyone here on hive could easily create a tool to fetch all the scrobbles of a particular user since they're saved as custom.json's and immutable on chain forever.
Anyway, it's nice seeing that there is some demand on self-reliance popping up over the internet a little here and there. As we discussed in the Hive Discord recently, most ignore this until things go bad. It's like not wearing a seatbelt until the day you realize you really should have, or getting a car/life insurance, or a home security system, etc. When the servers shut down, you're left with nothing. Hive changes this for a very, very low price, and most of that price goes to witnesses and the blockchain, which is fine given how technology is evolving and we're seeing ssd's and hdd's grow expontentially in size.
Anyway, just thought I'd share a recent find. Tried sharing scrobble.life to some outsiders to test the newly implemented gmail login but only got 1 user who didn't even scrobble anything. :D
Oh well, slow and steady.
I've been on last.fm (formerly Audioscrobbler) for 20+ years, but there's still a chance they could kill my account or just shut down. That's why I like to see blockchain solutions that can live on indefinitely. scrobble.life is evolving nicely. Hope to see more people on there.
Feel free to invite some people over! They won't need a hive account either for now but can upgrade and get a free one later (not set up that step yet however).
And if you have suggestions feel free to throw me dm's, I know there's still lots of work to do and to improve visuals but trying to get the most done currently with other projects, especially now that fable5 on claude is time-limited on current costs.
thanks for the info
There is request for features that hive has, but that information is not spread around and as soon as people hear crypto they run away
nice touch. like a little something extra. ;)
Your aura on hive is often unmatchable
Kiddos to scrobble.life
Will try to promote it in some Pakistani subreddits like karachi, Pakistan, karachisocialz etc etc
Could be a good opportunity
