and this post is definitely not going to cover everything I've been working on lately, but figured it's a good time to take a small break here and write about some things I find cool that we've implemented lately.
I usually try and get as much work done as possible, some days until I'm completely exhausted. The idea is to try and make use of as many tokens per week as possible and lately it's gotten a bit harder to fill that bar up even though the workload has remained the same. Guess maybe Claude is just getting smarter and cheaper to use!
As things stand this week with reset coming up on Wednesday:
When it comes to my github activity, whatever it's worth as this is probably easy to fake.
So at times I'm literally just not writing cause there's very little downtime in writing prompts and checking on things. Oftentimes I have like 3-4 claude instances up working on 2-3 different projects at once, more than that and you need to spend too much time reading the recaps to remind yourself what you were doing.
Either way, here's some cool updates with scrobble.life. As usual I try to bring something unique to the table with things I'm working on.
After our awesome import contest of movie and tv show reviews (thanks to everyone who participated again), I decided to do another bigger scan which aside from bugging hive API's I also spent some anthropic tokens to better match titles/tags/content with their wikipedia entries. I still have one more scan running that's going to go on for another week or two, but currently we managed to scan and import around 34k reviews to scrobble.life!
This means that there's a lot more to check out, potentially a lot of mismatches to find as well (we'll add a report button eventually when we have more users to correct those). I added a "random review" button recently which was kind of fun to delve into as you could happen onto any review posts over a decade timespan.
Then I thought, why not evolve a bit more on that, now we have a "random for you" button, basically it scans for random reviews in our db that are somewhat related to you.
This feature of course only works for those who have logged some movies already or imported their logs from other websites or imported hive reviews they've posted. So the more logs you have the more reviews this has to offer for you.
It'll pull up the review and let you know why it picked that one, here for instance it picked a review by @steemychicken1 :
You can repeat this action at the end of the post, either the completely random button or random for you. I thought this would be a pretty cool way to dive into older posts and reviews while at the same time possibly stumbling onto something you might enjoy watching that you may have missed.
Next up I decided to try give a community some new life since it'd be a shame to see it wither away. We may do some more contests and things as well with it here soon and the community leader currently in charge of it. I guess if I tell you the tab is called Awww you may figure out which community I'm talking about:
Aside from regular filters I decided to also add a most viewed one and we'll be adding a random button to this as well a bit later. The layout here felt more fitting to show the thumbnail in its orientation and make it infinitely scrollable on the "new" filter so you can get some nice eyecandy from hiver's pets!
We've also added ways to write posts through scrobble.life lately as some users requested it and for movies/tv/reviews it wasn't as obvious how to do it.
It's all quite basic but should work well enough for now!
We're also quite close to opening up our curation section to new users as well as making some noise about the new posh section we plan on utilizing through the website and looking forward to see more people come test them out and maybe check out the extension at the same time!
Other than that I've been busy with holozing:wilds which I hope to launch in beta soon so I can continue working on the flagship game and other 3d games after!
Hoping things in the world calm down a bit as well.
