Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

I like the 150 shows idea. Good stuff. When do the new Stub go live?

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Just rolled up a DMB Hub update yesterday, so most likely sometime early this week. Want people to be able to see those push notifications when they earn the badge :)

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Nice work on this, Matt. Looking forward to playing around with things this evening. Do you do all of the coding type work yourself?

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Very cool!

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

100% me, yep. Thanks for the kind words! I'm particularly excited about the fact that the way it's designed, you can pop to any other tour and see what the lib list looked like at that time (it uses the final show of the tour as a "today" date) and any libs that occurred during that tour.

There's lots of fun stuff with personal stats too. You can look at someone else's personal liberations (via their Tour Stats link) and it'll denote the shows that you may have been at together! The DMB Hub Stubs passport share image also identifies your liberation count. More to come on the app side of things, I'm only one person. :)

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

All very cool. For the suggestion box, I think it’d be cool if DMBHub gave the option of turning off the set lists updates (for those that don’t want to receive 18 notifications per night) but turn on an option where you are notified for major happenings, like a tour debut, liberation, new song, etc. (first time song x has opened a show in 275 shows).

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

holy shit, was just about to ask whether there was an "as of this day" function. excellent work.

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Interesting thought. Will add it to the list and chew on that a bit!

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Thanks. The way we designed the database 20 years ago really laid the foundation to make this possible.

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Nice add. Wasn't a fanbase term, started with the almanac right as the songs were POWs?

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

is the argument here that the almanac is run by people who...aren't in the fanbase?

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Nope. Just seemed to intentionally be made more generic. and doing it by shows solves the problem with show gaps that the almanac has. Not slighting anyone or the work or dedication it takes to do this all for free.

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Yes. Agreed.

And this is completely my fault for being on my phone during a show but the setlist updates will sometimes occur before a song has really "begun", it happened to me on Gravedigger at Alpharetta and Corn Bread WPB N2 when Carter is just solo'ing. That just means y'all are fast, ha.

But why am I on my phone to begin with? First world problems.

I noticed the push notification for completing AFTW when I got The Riff in Tampa... great work with this stuff!

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

It was a lot of fun to build out "rich" notifications too - those that can have images included. The hub has really been my labor of love and I'm super proud of it.

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

You’re crushing it, Matt. Just don’t know if these new features will allow us to see what has earned us a badge? For example I earned the debutant stub and it would be cool to click on it and see the 10+ debut songs and shows I saw them at. Will these new features allow that or is that something else entirely? You can tell what an excellent programmer I would be probably. Ha!

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Such a great question Matt! Short answer: not yet. Long answer, yes, hopefully. There's a lot of calculation in tracking the qualification stuff, and I've done it for some stubs but most don't have it...yet. I plan to build that out. :) (For example, I track this for the seen a liberation stub (not active yet), but undecided on how to display it)

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Thanks Matt!

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

It handles the show gap issue, however it does create a separate definitions for a term that has been used the same way for however long it's been used. It used to be the same songs at the same show, and now it means two different things depending on what site was used. Two different terms would be dumb. But this is creating an inconsistency across the fanbase.

Re: Tour Central Updated with Liberations
 

Thanks Matt, appreciate all the work and the place to come and celebrate/critique/discuss DMB!
