What
Every show you log becomes a ticket in your binder, with your photos attached, and every artist you've seen gets a page of the nights you saw them. The waitlist is at stageapp.xyz.
Why
I wanted to find my photos from shows quickly, by artist, not buried by date in my camera roll. And to see when an artist plays and what they played.
Constraints
- Artists, not venues. The artist is the root object; the venue is metadata.
- The camera-roll scan runs on the phone. Photos are matched against 1.8 million shows without leaving it.
- Only matched shows count toward your stats.
- Private by default. Sharing is a choice you make per show.
- No follower counts. Logging works offline, in the pit.
Takeaway
Venues are interchangeable; artists are identity. Choosing the root object decided everything else.
