HEY! Check out this update to my #Emissary demo I posted a couple weeks ago:
https://kumi.tube/w/pmqy4eUy6iz88Z6Rh1cM5K
We're working to make a #Federated alternative to #Bandcamp where up and coming bands can connect with fans and share their music on the Fediverse.
The progress is really encouraging, so it's time to get some feedback from real #musicians
My goal is to have something you could actually use in the next month or two. So please get your ideas in so's I can squeeze them into my launch calendar.
@benpate@mastodon.socialI owe you all some links:
I'm building all of this in the open on GitHub.So I'd love to collect suggestions as GitHub issues, if you're able to post there:
https://github.com/EmissarySocial/app-planetary/issues
But, if you're not a software nerd like me, just send me a reply to this thread (or as a DM) and I'll do the rest.
Sharing, Directories, and Discovery are important parts to this, but I still have to build those out. LMK if you have thoughts/feelings about how that should look, too.
@benpate this is exciting. I’m curious if each track will be an ActivityPub object contained with some other kind of album/list/bundle container? So people could create (permissions allowing) playlists of tracks from different albums/artists?
@nicol Yes, songs and albums are ActivityPub objects, too I’ll need to do some work to make sure they’re compatible with other music implementations (like FunkWhale) but that will work at launch.
@benpate lmk when you hit the MVP stage on this. Sounds interesting (sarahp at techcrunch.com)
@Sarahp Absolutely, will do 
I have a few more “T’s” to dot, and “I’s” to cross, then I’ll probably open up a limited beta test. I’d *love* to chat once there’s something more tangible than my silly videos.
