Apparently Faircamp 1.2 was released last month, with support for track level metadata!

https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md

That's my cue to start working on a version of Rainfall (https://rainfall.dev) that allows you to edit track metadata before generating your site.

Stay tuned!

I installed matomo on https://rainfall.dev, and it looks like I'm getting about 1-3 website hits per week.

Surely there must be more artists, musicians and bands out there that want to create a Faircamp website?

Maybe there is some critical bug or problem that I don't know about? If you've tried the site, I appreciate any and all feedback.

I definitely had fun building it, but I also put an awful lot of work into making it professional, bug free, and easy to use. Would love for more people to check it out!

Sorry to bother you @freebliss , but I'm thinking through some use cases for Rainfall/Faircamp and wanted to get your opinion.

I'm looking at these two old issues: (https://github.com/audiodude/rainfall/issues/7) and (https://github.com/audiodude/rainfall/issues/8).

I know you already gave me a lot of information about how Faircamp uses multiple libraries to parse ID3 metadata out of the various supported file types.

I had a crazy idea. Instead of replicating all of that work inside of Rainfall, would it make sense to allow the user to specify the metadata, run Faircamp, extract the transcoded Opus files, add metadata there, and then feed them back into Faircamp?

Or, I think you mentioned, there might be a new way to specify metadata using .eno files and I should just wait for that?

Thanks!

I've added a feedback form to Rainfall (https://rainfall.dev) for after you download your ZIP or deploy to Netlify.

If you've used the site in the past and want to contribute feedback, you can contribute here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSca4myLs9S0kw1DTA5MOB2OGUDP27f6qaTBELT2oDXjAEyUHw/viewform?usp=header

Rainfall v1.5 is released! (https://rainfall.dev)

Rainfall is a Bandcamp exodus tool that lets you upload your music and create a static site using the lovely Faircamp (https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/). You can download this site as a ZIP and host it anywhere on the web, or host it on Netlify with a few clicks.

This is a very behind-the-scenes update. For the technically minded, I've moved from sqlite -> hosted MariaDB, moved to Minio object storage for storing all song files (local volume is now only used for staging faircamp builds), and implemented Celery for background processing of preview generation (because with the Minio changes, it was taking too long).

You can read some of the rationale behind why I built this here: https://travisbriggs.com/garden/bandcamp/

The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/audiodude/rainfall

All feedback is welcome!
