Unstream has been free (minus my time) to keep running, but as it grows in usage & features I’m bumping up against some of the limits of free services. So I set up a Ko-fi to make it easy for folks who want to help keep it alive (and/or support other things I do). ko-fi.com/bgreenlol

Finally making some progress on building artist tipping directly into Unstream

I should be writing more newsletters.

I’m not sure exactly when my next album will be ready, but it will for sure be all over the place

I decided to go all-in on #faircamp for kidlightbulbs.com. It's now just a simple little place to listen to everything I've done and a few links (oh and a couple of li'l tweaks that were surprisingly easy to make). Looks good, I think

Very excited about this: #faircamp 2.0 is out 🎉 Can’t wait to update the lightbulbs archives (my self hosted music site) and play around. faircamp.org/changes/2.0.0/

Just pushed v3.3 of the Unstream Mac app, which includes a bunch of small quality-of-life improvements! Grab it at unstream.stream

Hey is anyone here using @unstream.bsky.social still? What would you want to see me add to it? I have ideas #indiemusic #musicsky

Pandermonium: an exclusive 3-day event during which the American media’s worst journalists and podcasters interview the tech elite about the next most inevitable inevitabilities

I might have found a solution to the problem of @unstream.bsky.social missing lots of Bandcamp search results. Working on a fix this morning, stay tuned 😄

What is everyone listening to while they work today? There are correct and incorrect answers to this question 🤔

Whoa this I did not see coming, especially after the layoff news: @bandcamp implemented the subsonic API so you can take your Bandcamp collection to open-source media players & infrastructure. I just set it up in seconds Honestly pretty cool, curious what this means for them

Guys GUYS im basically huge in Japan

unstream v2.5.0 for chrome and firefox rolling out imminently with some improvements to music playback detection across more websites! check it out at unstream.stream

We intend to bring a lot more to Home over time, so don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback in the comments. And check out this excellent post from @bgreen.lol with more info. buff.ly/q4jUQok

When you next sign in to Buffer, you might notice you land in Home. This is the new hub for all your social activity. 🏡 Home brings elements of each area of Buffer into a single view: - Your posting streak, goals, and comment score - Your next 3 scheduled posts (there's more!)

I've been quiet about @buffer.com stuff! Well I have something to share today: we shipped a home screen for our web app 🏠 This was a fun project to work on because it's not a flashy new *feature*, but rather a new hub that brings together Buffer's tightly-integrated social toolkit. Here's mine!

I turned 38 today and I celebrated by being outside a lot

gonna be famous 5eva cause 4ever’s too short gonna be famous 3gether cause that’s 1 more than 2gether

It bugs me that I’m now a popsocket person

Happy belated lagwagon day to all who celebrate youtu.be/Ihffc8LX2KU

It seems that Bandcamp has changed something on their end which is blocking Bandcamp artist pages from showing in Unstream’s search results (unless you’ve verified your page or have data listed in the Musicbrainz database). I’m investigating some options to resolve this. Stay tuned.

Had a fun idea tonight to add generative AI policy markers to the music platforms in #unstream search results Deploying in a few minutes #fairtrademusic #indiemusic #ai #bandcamp #mirlo #ampwall #bandwagon #musicsky

Who's gonna be the 50th musician to claim an Unstream page??????? #indie #musicsky #fairtrademusic #faircamp #bandcamp #supportindieartists

messing around with verified artist pages on unstream 👀 unstream.stream/a/kid-lightb... #fairtrademusic #indiemusic #streaming #unstream

Something I still hear all the time from creators: "What's the best time to post?" The typical answer: "it depends, just try stuff" 😅 That's exhausting. So we've made it less so, with ✨Smart Scheduling✨ It's part of a bigger shift to make Buffer smarter. Learn more: buffer.com/resources/sm...

imagine if someone was like "I'm an AI parent, I imagined everything about my child and had AI give birth to it and raise it into adulthood and I'm so proud of them and I'd love for you to meet them"
