Good morning!

monkey: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1127

LB-1127: Illustrations for the home page

^ akshaaatt as well, because we can use this image for the app as well

Thanks

Nothing too wild, but with a bit of parallax/movement it could look very nice. And I don’t think anyone will hate it. I can also do more in that style without too much trouble. Feedback welcome!

Okay, night all :)

p.s. akshaaatt I was looking at MOBILE-167 as part of this too, I would probably use those bubbles and that graphic in the background video, with some motion, and then cut to footage of the app playing

MOBILE-167: Promotion Videos and Screenshots for Playstore https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MOBILE-167

Night night for real!

Works for me

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok merged pull request #3084 (03master…MBS-11934): MBS-11934: Add report for releases without CAA https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

aerozol: starting import of all the assets to Android app

I hope everything is there

lucifer: for yim, this image needs to come in a non-svg form for me https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/mMxWR...

shareables also need to be in some other format other than svg

Jasje: best to find a way to render svg to canvas and then convert to png before export.

I did that last time but libs are fail like 50% of the time

also, lucifer: the svg takes alot of time to load as I remember from last time

I'll take a look on making svgs more reliable but I don't think pngs will be faster since we'll be doing the rendering server side.

Which should be faster than rendering on client side but then you also have more data to transmit over the network.

Also need to talk with mayhem on if we are allowed to do that.

I mean last time I loaded using some of the links from CAA

pieced them together

That's what the svg should do too.

but the problem is the svg format

android has a tool in the IDE to convert svgs to xmls before use

so u know they hate svgs

also, lucifer: please let me know if there are any changes to json and how we are going to handle edge cases

like if the user doesn't have enough listens

make notes somewhere if u discuss it with monkey so i won't need to ping again

also aerozol: a surprise for you

the screen dimensions you used for mockups are not correct 🫣

491 x 873 right now

android is 360 x 800

Hey! Just got back from dinner/evening out :)

jasje: fun surprise!

we need to resize stuff

ive asked for edit access

I just realised this while creating the UI

Figma has android template as well

why didn't you use that

the Android Large one

Copied an old one I guess 🥴

Shouldn't be an issue to resize stuff, the layout won't change. Just more empty space in the vertical

less space horizontally as well

Yup we're on the same page, e.g. less space horizontal + same layout = more empty space in the vertical

Did it give you edit access? I'm on my phone and it's not saying if it has or not

Can you do me a favor jasje, if you're changing stuff can you copy everything into the 'dev dump' page? So we have a backup

alright

I would do it but it's almost bed time sorry! My bad for not checking the screen size...

Will you be exporting assets to use in the app? If so please run them through tinypng.com to cut the size right down. Otherwise I can do it tomorrow 👌 I'm actually hoping the picture sizes don't even have to change, but let's see, that's quite a bit narrower isn't it

I'm going to head to bed, there's jasje. Hope the app YIM goes smoothly!

Hi aerozol, you probably missed it, can you please check out our links to social networks from https://blog.metabrainz.org#secondary and https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

*thanks

Hey yvanzo. Let me have a look

(should be quick)

aerozol: night night!

yvanzo: haven't tested the Metabrainz links, but looks good! Thank you for doing that

aerozol: Thanks, have a good night, for real real :)

I'm not sure if we should put 'Fediverse/Mastodon' though, or just one?

Just Mastodon then?

I might just check that quick, give me a minute

I would say Mastodon because Fediverse seems to be much wider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:A_view_into_... / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_br...

I was going to ask flaky but they're offline. But my googling indicates that we can just use 'Mastodon'

Oh didn't see your message! My thoughts too

Ok night night for real real really this time 2.3b FINAL VERSION 2

aerozol: Enjoy this release!

aerozol: I still don't have edit access

alright i have it

[metabrainz.org] 14yvanzo merged pull request #446 (03master…upd-channels): Update our active social channels https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

Hi reosarevok, it seems that it can be merged: https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

I agree, but I think mayhem usually merges those and releases on his own schedule? Dunno

Feel free to merge it if you're doing a release yourself

I think he just releases for every small batch of changes he makes, but there is no rush.

Are we in freeze after yesterday's beta btw?

I don’t know the status of this topic so I won’t merge it if you don’t know either.

reosarevok: not yet

Is there specific stuff you want to get merged today?

I understand from https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... you wanted us to extract one commit to test the fuzzy bits?

yes, there's the patch for instrument aliases

yes, please

also I started reviewing message context keys yesterday

Is just any small commit fine? And what do we do, cherry-pick it on beta?

https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... would be nice too in preparation for https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... but it doesn't need to be released this time - just ideally merged before the other one :)

reosarevok: af0d2aa94c20da37ec173b4eeeeec3b8d05ee509 looks like a good candidate

I guess :)

Cherry-pick then?

Ok, on it.

!m yvanzo

You're doing good work, yvanzo!

I just realized, the "add listens" button in LB dashboard is kinda off by a few pixels w.r.t the hit boxes below it. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/2mopQ...

🗿

lucifer, jasje: IMO it makes sense to have a way to send composite PNG images from the server. SVG works for some stuff, but indeed converting to a bitmap format is a pain in the ass sometimes…

It might be faster than loading the SVG with its 9 separate images to DL at some resolution, versus the single composite image.

Would be helpful for the LB website too I think.

i.e. for sharing images

monkey: 100% agreed

Pratha-Fish: Yeah, I reckon the container element here could do without the padding. Wanna open a PR? :innocent: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Yjfcl...

monkey: yea i barely know HTML, but i'll take this moment to learn and implement :)

would just changing the padding in CSS do?

Let me know if you want pointers

Yes that's exactly it

Nothing else needed. Just finding the right line :)

Epic. I'll open up a PR for it as soon as i am done with lunch hehe

monkey: need to check with mayhem if that's permissible use of CAA

Gotcha

https://pypi.org/project/CairoSVG/ <- provided we are allowed to do it, this should make it pretty easy

Although some hiccups are to be expected

> Cairo relies on FreeType to reach fonts installed on your system. Many formats are supported, including TTF, OTF and WOFF, but the fonts need to be installed. As a consequence, it’s not possible to reference fonts thanks to the CSS @font-face property.

aerozol: The landing pages look great ! Such an improvement that would be !

My vote goes for this one, which I also think works best on mobile:
