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

Want to help me test this out? I would really appreciate it:
1) go to https://unstream.stream and search for yourself
2) click on “claim your artist page”
3) try going thru the flow to verify yourself
4) let me know if you run into any issues or weirdness
Unstream - Find Music on Alternative Platforms

Find what's playing on alternative platforms, directly support the artists you love, and move off streaming.

@kidlightbulbs I tried this, and while the top 'Matt Young' listing is someone else's photo and certain links, other of the links DO go to my stuff. Looks like multiple Matt Youngs have been mashed into one.

@mattyoung going to do some refactoring of the search & artist disambiguation logic this weekend that should hopefully address this. In the meantime, I added some checks to the artist claim flow, so you can at least proactively verify that *your* links are looking right. Thank you so much for reporting, I have some work to do here 😅

@kidlightbulbs Thanks very much for looking into it. I was able to verify my links and all looks right except I can't seem to change the wrong profile pic on the search results. When I go to view artist I see the correct profile pic, though.

Very cool site you've created!

@mattyoung thank you! I’m still working on improving the search, but I can definitely add a way to pull a correct photo based on your actual profiles. Let me look into that too
