Hello dear Big Finish listeners !
I'm a french fan slowly getting into bigfinish for around a few year now.
And I'd like to share a project, kind of a web log platform for Big Finish audios.
Pardon the URL "https://carnetbf-6fwkv.b-cdn.net/", I didn't paid for a hostname at the moment, but I'm already using a true (paid) CDN so It should be quite strong to support the data.
As a developer & artist, I tried to do my best, and I'm welcoming any feedbacks !
At first I had a google doc to write down what I thought about my listenings, because I forget quickly. And kinda give notes to share them with fellow fans and brought them into the audio world.
But the whole concept of copy pasting the cover, adding a link, keeping it organized felt a bit tiring.
And the idea to do some kind of web app for myself kept coming back to my mind a year ago. And a year later, voila
But being a bit perfectionist, I started to think that maybe some other users might like to use it, so I ended up doing a basic account system with it.
There sure is alternatives and I'm not trying to compete with them especially. I'm just focusing on what *I* would want for a platform. And I know this kind of reasoning sometimes work because you end up finding users that want exactly the same.. Again, I'm all fine of it keeping it just as an exercise after all.
The principe is simple, you enter the url of a big finish audio, & it's added to the database, you can then choose a status (to listen, being listened (useful if you have multiple) or listened).
Then you can write down your review for yourself, or share it easily with anybody. Your diary is public by default, but you can also keep it private through your settings.
Langage wise, the website is available in french and english at the moment.
edit: I auto-translated the UI to German.
I'm also testing an additional feature to the notation system which is 'very inegal quality', which might help a bit, because 'notes' can be very frustrating.
That's all, thanks for reading !
