Okay, a couple of fun things I'm working on for #unstream right now:

- true artist pages & a process to claim them
- artist page customization - curate your platform links, add a bio, add a featured release
- embeds
- a simple directory of verified indie artists

At the simplest, it makes for a free linktree alternative focused on the best places to directly support you as an artist, which in turn is integrated into Unstream search/app/extensions. Plus a lot of bigger things can start to form around this foundation, and that has me very excited

As a final fun li'l bonus: I made Unstream aware of Bandcamp Fridays

@kidlightbulbs was excited to see this and just did a little test and see some vibeslop social avatars right away. Might want to go thru and check all the SVGs in your project cause this is a bad look for something you are already taking money for

@liaizon I appreciate the honesty, will clean this up.

@liaizon re: the money part, it’s very important to me to not charge artists for this. I would consider the pass thing a hopefully low barrier for active listeners - it’s an experiment though, open to feedback/ideas

@kidlightbulbs I would be careful to massage the hell out of this and make it bulletproof before you start trying to add any monetization features. I was playing around and I like the direction you are going, and I think the general idea for the project is great, but there are a lot of rough edges still
