Generative.fm Work Priority Poll (Patreon)

Hello again. I wanted to check in to see what you'd like me to work on next.

User Accounts with data sync

This would add a way for you to register for an account which would track the pieces you favorite and your listen time. Then, if you clear the site's local data (in your browser), your account data would still exist and get restored next time you logged in. If you use more than one device, your favorites and listening data will be the same on every device you're logged in on.

Sort by Global Popularity

I thought it would be a good feature to sort pieces by "popularity," which would be some function of the number of people who've favorited the piece and/or the total listen time across all users. I'm not actually collecting this data yet, so I'll need to start doing that first. This would make it easier to find pieces that other people like, so you wouldn't have to wade through the stinkers unless you wanted to.

Performance Research

Depending on the piece and the device, sometimes the audio quality suffers and starts to click or pop. I'm not exactly sure what, if anything, I can do to fix this, but I do know where to start looking. If this is the highest priority for you, I'll make it mine as well. The risk here is that I come back empty handed, but I don't think that's likely; a couple approaches seem very promising.

As always, if there's something else you'd like me to work on just let me know in the comments. Thanks!
