akshaaatt had spent a few months working on it but so he can tell you the details but there were significant obstacles in getting it done.

RIP akshaaatt:(

jasje

lucifer

pranavkonidena_ Hi! Yim is breaking after the playlists section. Can you please debug that?
jasje
Who started that thread?

reosarevok: I'm happy to document the bridges, but is it too early, with things still changing? Or by document do you mean it's enough to say 'we are bridging from a to b to c' (e.g. non technical)
lucifer
did a quick search and couldn't find it at the moment. aerozol might have a link?
to the discussion about the revamped MB homepage
aerozol
Actually, I'll go ahead and do the non technical thing today anyway reo. Then you can let me know if you wanted more
I guess the changes were too sudden for the community to take in but overall improvements on many front
fronts*
aerozol
Well, it’s not really a dead initiative, but other things came up in the meantime (e.g. LB)
And the core MB team is working on the react conversion before tackling page redesigns. Which will make the redesign much more pleasant to do
jasje
the thing with that is it might be pleasant to do
but changing UI sometimes has domino effect as well
aerozol
Probably the most doable thing in the meantime would be the footer and header. But honestly don’t underestimate the amount of involvement MB users will have, and the specificity of their needs
but too much sway from original in short time as i see in community feedback
there's a story someone told me once
there were two painters once
rdswift[m] has quit
both given a task to paint a building
and paint of similar color
person A chose to hide the building until it was complete
and when he revealed it, he was praised for his work
Person B did something unusual
he colored half of the building showed it to the people first
Unusually as well, he was praised more than person A
why?
Cos deez nutz
woops

aerozol: it was just "if you prefer you can also use our IRC through Discord or Matrix" sort of thing for people scared of IRC :p

aerozol: My elbisaur command line app can delete multiple listens. If you want to try that, I can offer assistence (as there is only the integrated documentation so far).

mayhem[m]: I'll have a deeper look tomorrow , the issue requires some wider changes to handle program interruption better (mainly related to caching). Core issues is that we add dirs to cache before they were actually fully handled. In the meantime, I added an option to force scan (ignoring caches), it might be handy sometimes.
mayhem[m]
just approved it, thanks.
I think marking the cache dirs as checked/not checked could help
zas
directories should be added/updated in cache only once they are fully explored, it requires some logic changes, I'll do that soon
mayhem[m]
I'm finishing up the file_id changes. makes code a lot simpler in some places.

kellnerd: if it’s not too time consuming it would be cool to delete 10 hours of listens from last night! If it’s a hassle it’s not the end of the world it’s just stats
