Extra Chill will be posting an interview that goes into the backstory of Mosquito Beach Sunset Jamz later this week!

Preparing to speak with the fine folks behind Local Pulse and the Sunset Jamz this morning.

Hey there! Thanks for posting.

For Spotify:

1. press the three dots next to the song

2. press share

3. copy song link

4. paste that link straight into the text box

test

Now:

Users can reply to topics that correspond to Extra Chill articles, or comment directly on the article itself

Users can upvote once on the blog and on the community site and the upvotes are combined

Still to do:

Fix spotify embed format for imported posts

Fix upvote count for first post in an imported topic

Sort by upvotes doesn’t work in the custom forum (yet)

Upvoted feed needs a complete re-work…

You didn’t answer it yourself my ghuy

Marry “Wish You Were Here”

Fuck “Stairway to Heaven”

Kill “Freebird”

Reminds me of this great Modest Mouse live album. Around 3:18, someone yells “Freebird” in the audience and Issac Brock explains why MM will never play it. Lol

Sometimes, simply writing about the issue helps me logically understand what needs to happen. I’m basically learning enough about the underlying logic behind the code to explain to ChatGPT how to make the code work for me. So, a lot of this has been brute repetition of figuring out the logic before I can explain to the robot exactly what it needs to do for me.

Anyway, upvotes are now seamless between the main blog and the Extra Chill Articles forum.

The next step is cleaning it up. But the hardest part is done. Sheesh! It’s like mental gymnastics trying to wrap my head around all this code sometimes. But it works!!!

I added the “Extra Chill Articles” forum which will automatically post articles from Extra Chill as they are published.

It creates an exact replica of the article (minus the ads). This part works great and the articles are being correctly synced.

The next step is combining the upvote counts, which has proven to be a bit trickier. The idea is that the user should be able to upvote an EC article, and its corresponding topic on the forum, one time each, with the total upvotes count reflecting the combined number of upvotes.

I’m close to figuring it out but it has really been giving me a run for my money.

Then, after achieving that, the next step will be to allow community members to interact in the topics created, so anybody can essentially contribute to a given piece of content.

Of course, the ultimate idea is to lock the Extra Chill Articles forum so that you must be logged in to view it. Then, it will allow community members to read the articles without ads, and give us a further incentive to drive signups to the community.

The overall goal is to continue building a digital ecosystem that is completely seamless between the two websites, and turns Extra Chill into an entire world. Each step gets us closer and closer, and I have been working on this every day.

That was real nice. Have you ever heard of Daniel Norgren? Another chill Canadian

Really is sounding dope. Love to see Kelly doing some HD quality shit like this. He needs a record deal, would allow him to fund an album and make a whole record worth of stuff that sounds like this

Adding to the above: Filter By User is broken on the following feed

All of this will be re-thunk and fixed tomorrow. It’s about time to call it a night….

The Extra Chill Articles forum has been giving me a run for my money today but im happy its close to working properly now. Just another layer to this project… the chips continue to fall into place.

dead essays – just another blog with lots of Grateful Dead knowledge, formatting is a bit dated but there is some great stuff buried in those archives
