Ooh it looks like something is afoot over at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day, courtesy of @keefmarshall's brand new submission bot.

Here's how it works:

If you've got a release on a #FairTradeMusic platform¹ you'd like to plug, follow @ftmf and reply (with a link & description) to its post that will appear on Friday at 00:00 CEST- it will then appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!

Ok, here's my #MusiciansDay pitch:

I make electronic music, but do try at times to give it a human touch (despite my appearance )

Sometimes I dabble in making #DAWless music. This video gives you a good idea what that is like:

To check out my DAWless and my awfully DAWful music, head to my #Faircamp at https://faircamp.axwax.eu

The initial podcast feature release for #faircamp will come with playback speed control already yay. :) Wasn't sure I could fit it in, but it's done, yess!

(this is opt-in in general, you can also enable it for your music if you want •ᴗ•)

How to Install and Run Faircamp

Faircamp is a static site generator made by @freebliss, which enables any music producer to build a complete website to showcase their music.

Compatible with pretty much any web host Faircamp makes it easy to present your sounds to the world in minutes with no database, no programming and no maintenance required.

However, if you’ve never had experience running a shell command before it may seem a little daunting at first look. That’s where @meljoann’s article on How to Install and Run Faircamp comes in super-handy.

First written in 2023 she has kept the article updated for newer releases of Faircamp. Just read through and follow her guide as you go and you’ll be up and running in no time.

Y'all, I'm crying happy tears for once.

@MTP just made my day and week by sending me his newest CD all the way from Wales to the formerly USA! For free & with a beautiful handwritten note, all because I bought and loved his first album.

You are NOT alone and there are other good people out here. Find the others.

@limebar Do you think you might be able to help get him setup of #Faircamp and/or #TheIndieBeat

the other #rustlang thingy that's been cooking (and just passed a #ci run) is called #taggart.

it uses #tengri to pop up an interactive table to edit things, namely: the #id3 tags of music releases

its purpose? why, to make it easier to prepare a certain pile of content (that we've accumulated with a friend over the past, what, 6-7 years), for publication in a sovereign #faircamp instance! but none of it's well-tagged and existing interactive mediatag editors are ugh

Is any one looking into / thinking about publishing static site content via #activitypub , as @mapache has described in:
https://maho.dev/2024/11/a-guide-to-implementing-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website-part-7/

- but utilising @fedify ?

Content from static site generators like #faircamp and #hyper8 by @freebliss is easy to host, long term, but while one would be inclined to host more dynamic services, it would be great to have a kind of (general purpose) layer that could pick up newly published, static content and notify the #fediverse
