MusicBrainz events in ListenBrainz and beyond

Thanks for you reply.

As someone with more experience on such things, what do you think? I had initially considered a daily schedule, but if weekly works, that would probably be better.

I think weekly is enough, but let’s see how heavy the computation will be. I update the events once a week, usually on Thursday/Friday, using my bot. But if it is not that expensive, daily would be nice, of course.

Might be possible, though my approach has been to check if it’s cache entry has been updated since the last time we calculated. And I don’t think that data really should be exposed.

Okay. May approach would be to look at the edits, like mentioned here: Edit search API
The notifications then are pushed to the user feed right? Maybe we can go that route because there is already an endpoint for that: /1/user/(mb_username: *user_name* )/feed/events

Fun fact, I had integrated this into my original mockup, though I don’t have it anymore. I did realize later, there doesn’t seem to be a way to redirect to an event in the app? Like a redirect link? Or, maybe I just couldn’t find it. I am not very well-versed in Android dev, so I might not be explaining things very well.

I think that is possible with so call deep links and will be more work on app side. You just need to create the specific link. And I think I need a fallback page, where the user lands when FestivalGuide is not installed.
What does @mr_monkey say, about linking to FestivalGuide directly?

I concur, though I do think a watch / follow feature is warranted for individual events, which is what I proposed. This also allows displaying the watch count, which is a nifty party trick, if nothing else!

As for syncing with FG, that doesn’t seem quite right to me, but that’s out-of-scope either way, and not for me to decide.

Yeah, having the stats about number of visitors like other sites would be nice.
With syncing I mean an API with PUT and GET for event planned and seen. Then I can implement the “sync” part. Another way to think about is. that LB can import a FastivalGuide backup file.
