notes

This is a test

finally figured out the image upload issues and have things mostly working. Just need to add additional validation for the text fields and I'll feel better about things

running into form data issues so image upload does not work at all. CORS makes this more annoying with netlify functions

and it didnt work. this is why we test in production

I think most of the webmentions related things are working now

Made a mess of RSS feeds while refactoring. Hopefully should be better now.

Thanks Andrés! I'm looking forward to working on some of my ongoing IndieWeb projects again with hopefully something new very soon

I've been tired

I spent some time considering my options and also ended up with Apple Music. I thought some of these crossplay issues were related to me using an Android phone, Chromecast, and macOS so while not great, its encouraging to know that these are also true in the ecosystem. Hopefully that means that they'll fix it sooner rather than later.

I do miss Spotify's curated playlists and I don't think Apple Music has played me something outside of saved artists and songs I have.

There are two pros that make Apple Music worth it for me in the end. The sound quality is actually noticeably better and Spatial Audio is great. Lastly, the ability to add music that I own and isn't on Apple Music or Spotify is great. I had been using Plex with Plexamp to listen to my owned library and while thats still there, its good to have everything in a single place.

In the end I do agree: Spotify just works. Apple Music is annoying, but it works for me.
