Me, on Thursday: "maybe I'll just start scaffolding out the UI for a future Parachord Android app before I leave for vacation on Monday"

Me, on Sunday: "well damn, I'm pretty much done"

Two months ago tomorrow I released my first full-length album.

Much love to everyone that has given it a spin. 😘

... and so it begins.
Parachord Android

In addition to dark mode, next week I will ship concert recommendations (based on your collection and listening history) and artist dates with multiple event plug-in providers.

Also, a tiny thing I've wanted for a long time - just a little indicator to show if the artist you are currently listening to has an upcoming show near you.

I needed to clean up some UI inconsistencies, so Dark Mode is coming sooner than later.
If you are wondering where all of the snow in Brooklyn goes, I found. It apparently gets trucked and dumped in two square blocks down by the IKEA.

I was pretty productive today. I fixed a lot of Parachord bugs, improved the Friend feed, added customizable embeds on the smartlink pages and pushed an update. (No concert dates in this one, but hopefully soon.)

Time to put down the laptop and pick up a guitar and a beer. ðŸŧ

My sister's friend had questions. Maybe you have the same ones, so here you go. ðŸĪŠ

Now that I seem to have sorted most people's Apple Music issues in Parachord, I've got a few new features almost ready to ship:

1. New Releases (from artists you like/listen to/collect)
2. Universal album and playlist links (https://go.parachord.com/afbc6934) to go along with track links
3. Support for Apple Music lossless/high-res streams (sorry, no Atmos - @ Apple)

She's kind of little for a Golden Retriever (still 75lbs tho) - but it's still deep in Brooklyn.
