How does it work? You recommend to all your friends (I love this, peeps!) or directly to one person (you'll like this)?

I was talking to some MTG people about this system in general. One suggestion from there was "recommending people", rather than recommending tracks. This sounds pretty similar to what ruaok commented about follwing zas' feed

iliekcomputers
all your friends
2020-09-04 24826, 2020
alastairp
which sounds interesting
2020-09-04 24806, 2020
alastairp
initially, "I want to get suggestions from zas" -> later -> "here's someone who listens to similar stuff that you do, you might want to follow them to get suggestions"

my idea was to allow posting about anything that has an MBID. users could have MBIds. :)
2020-09-04 24840, 2020

I think that is a great idea, but for a later version.
2020-09-04 24854, 2020
ruaok
alastairp: can you please note that in the planning doc for a future release?
2020-09-04 24801, 2020
alastairp
yeah, I don't want to get too far ahead, just plant the idea
2020-09-04 24823, 2020

ruaok: I already started an automatic-recommendation-specific doc. it's there, I'm still cleaning the doc up a bit, but will share thisweek-ish
reosarevok yea he (Mr_Monkey ) can't drop bb, i just finished two relationship overhals he promised to add! :V

2020-09-04 24815, 2020

we want the player to become a useful tool for bopping around LB...
2020-09-04 24821, 2020
Mr_Monkey
I 200% agree on aiming and focusing on music discovery solely over other social communication aspects
2020-09-04 24830, 2020
ruaok
find a track that you like?
2020-09-04 24836, 2020
ruaok
add to queue.
2020-09-04 24803, 2020
ruaok
and maybe also keep playlists. like "want to listen to" list.
2020-09-04 24811, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Yes, play queue will be critical to a good listening experience. That's already at the top of the bucket
2020-09-04 24824, 2020
ruaok
I know I can encounter tracks that are interesting, but that a outside the scope of what I want to listen to right now.
2020-09-04 24839, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Yes, I do that "listen to this again later" playlist on Spotify with great success
2020-09-04 24818, 2020
CatQuest
idk if this is relevant to you guys but. i personally am missing a "friends" feature in lb (and bb and mb at all)
2020-09-04 24826, 2020
ruaok
I bet you've thought about all this more than either iliekcomputers or myself. maybe make a paper doc similar to what iliekcomputers did and then we chat early next week?
2020-09-04 24839, 2020
ruaok
CatQuest: that is our core point.
2020-09-04 24851, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Sure, I can try and put my thoughts down
2020-09-04 24805, 2020
CatQuest
right now i use "subscribe" as a sort of make-shift one. (but also subscribe for the originla reason of it soo)
2020-09-04 24809, 2020
CatQuest
:D
2020-09-04 24820, 2020
ruaok
great. shall we chat about this on monday?
2020-09-04 24829, 2020
Mr_Monkey
One feature I really miss from old-days Spotify is the ease of drag-and-dropping a track on one of my friends. Instant recommend
2020-09-04 24845, 2020
CatQuest
ooh cool idea
2020-09-04 24846, 2020
ruaok
ohhh, yes, please.
2020-09-04 24853, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Yeah, we can do Monday. Probably more afternoon time.
2020-09-04 24824, 2020
ruaok
not sure iliekcomputers will have time then. maybe half hour before the team meeting?
2020-09-04 24827, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Spotify used to have this frends sidebar that was always open, so that process was always there for me to use.
2020-09-04 24836, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Sure, that works
2020-09-04 24852, 2020
iliekcomputers
sounds good to me.
2020-09-04 24801, 2020
ruaok
great.
2020-09-04 24817, 2020
ruaok
iliekcomputers: I think you have enough direction to get moving, yes?
2020-09-04 24822, 2020
iliekcomputers
yeah.
2020-09-04 24832, 2020

I wonder if we should try and engage chhavi for some UX advice on this.

i'm gonna write up a doc on the more nitty gritty details today
2020-09-04 24853, 2020
ruaok
perfect
2020-09-04 24857, 2020
iliekcomputers
but UX help will definitely be needed

I learned a lot from her when we went thought the UX process for another project earlier this year.
2020-09-04 24806, 2020

so, lets prepare with that.

iliekcomputers: in your doc, you should identify the users you wish to target. who are they?
2020-09-04 24844, 2020
alastairp
yeah, that's an interesting question

different people have widely different requirements from this kind of thing
2020-09-04 24851, 2020
ruaok goes back to the notes.
2020-09-04 24805, 2020
ruaok
WHY, WHO and HOW are the three key questions we need to answer.
2020-09-04 24812, 2020
alastairp
ruaok: iliekcomputers: do you mind if I share one or more of these documents with others from MTG for feedback? I'm not sure if we want to get too many "oh, you could do this, and this, and this" ideas yet, but feedback on overarching goals could be interesting
2020-09-04 24816, 2020
iliekcomputers
i gauged interest from the discourse post. there are actual users on LB who'd be happy with these features.
2020-09-04 24821, 2020
iliekcomputers
alastairp: sure
2020-09-04 24834, 2020
alastairp
there are users who _said_ that they'd be happy with that :)
2020-09-04 24835, 2020
ruaok
WHY would someone come to LB.
2020-09-04 24839, 2020
alastairp
big difference :)
2020-09-04 24846, 2020
ruaok
WHO are the users who are going to come?
2020-09-04 24800, 2020
ruaok
HOW are the users who do come going to accomplish what they came to do?
2020-09-04 24822, 2020
ruaok
once I was able to answer these questions, the UX became much simpler.
2020-09-04 24829, 2020
iliekcomputers
alastairp: true
2020-09-04 24836, 2020
ruaok
alastairp: fine by me.
2020-09-04 24859, 2020
ruaok
iliekcomputers: this seems like a BS exercise right now, but it was really instrumental to my other project.
2020-09-04 24850, 2020
iliekcomputers
having good answers to these seems important, i could come up with answers, not sure if they'd be very good.
2020-09-04 24814, 2020
iliekcomputers
let me take a stab at it
2020-09-04 24825, 2020
ruaok
perfect. just thinking about it helps a lot.
2020-09-04 24835, 2020
iliekcomputers
what's the goal of this exercise? sanity checking what we're building or figuring out the UX?
2020-09-04 24859, 2020
Mr_Monkey
Both? Once the direction has been established, the path become clear.
