it’s been another while since i posted here. But this log keeps expanding over time.

Next in line is the events calendar getting a total overhaul. This is going to be powered by my custom WordPress plugin, Data Machine. The calendar is going to list events from all major markets in the most easy to filter way i can possibly come up with.

The Data Machine plugin also powers the festival wire.

Data Machine will also help me establish email campaigns to attract more users to this place over time.

That’s what i’ve been working on behind the scenes, if anybody wondered where i’ve been focused.

This forum needs a decent amount of work to get back on track. I need to start posting here more often and overall get back into music journalism.

The final thing i wanted to mention was the extra chill app, which is coming soon. It will be a single-location touchpoint that allows interaction with the entire ecosystem. In the process, i am going to re-think the way that this website is organized.

My buddy mentioned trying to implement a twitter-like system where it becomes a lot easier to spew content. i think that could work by allowing users to post replies to their own profile. and then surfacing these replies on the recent page

and on the recent page, instead of showing the grid of topics, i will show the latest replies to all topics all put together

this site has been my passion project for a long time. I will not give up on it any time soon. I’m just not really interested in doing so many music writeups like i used to. I’m interested in platform-building, and writing when i have something to actually say.
