Needles & Grooves

You guys, we can make a better discogs. Let's do it. We can become wildly rich in the process. It'll be fun. I'll be CFO. Forewarning I am not good at math.

@Mather do not threaten me with a good time. I am very much onboard

Just send @Mather an email with a list of your entire collection, itemized with the minimum $ you’d accept for each disc.

It turns out you actually can download the entire discogs database:

Discogs Data

Someone needs to do this STAT

shit this is gonna take up both sides of the floppy disc

Did you notice how even some of the files end in .GZ?

*triggered*

It’s the ones that START at GZ that are the problem

It explains so much.

I actually wish they had a paid level for non-sellers. Then you could actually demand that they fix things that should have been fixed 20 bloody years ago.

what was the situation? tweet is now unavailable.

Apparently he deleted it because he was getting some targeted harassment.

Unpopular opinion. Bandcamp only got better after being acquired by Epic. If Discogs could get bought out by the right buyer they could transform the platform into the egalitarian database that it has always striven to be. Keep the database open, but enact reasonable fees on sales is a good solution. I wouldnt even mind ads, albeit with a light touch.

@THEEDADROCK.BLOG I can think of a lot more businesses that were ruined after being acquired by a large corporation or hedge fund than I can think of that were made better as a result. Discogs leaves a lot to be desired in its current state but nothing they’ve done recently makes me think that their end game is a better product.

They will just continue to make things crummier in the name of cost cutting and then charge the consumer more for it. If it doesn’t work out… oh well, on to the next business to plunder in the name of capitalism.

Oohh a N&G database?? I have ideas.

@Melt Face Molly Drop Ravelry is a great hobby service and they built it from the ground up and (mostly) have done right by their users. No subs.

I had to take a several session course about turning any kind of business into a subscription service. This was targeted to accounting outsource firms but it’s where everyone wants to go now. It’s a gross

Does anyone on here know how to code? I know good designers and how to get things like this done...
