Just pushed v3.3 of the Unstream Mac app, which includes a bunch of small quality-of-life improvements! Grab it at unstream.stream

Hey is anyone here using @unstream.bsky.social still? What would you want to see me add to it? I have ideas #indiemusic #musicsky

Pandermonium: an exclusive 3-day event during which the American media’s worst journalists and podcasters interview the tech elite about the next most inevitable inevitabilities

I might have found a solution to the problem of @unstream.bsky.social missing lots of Bandcamp search results. Working on a fix this morning, stay tuned 😄

What is everyone listening to while they work today? There are correct and incorrect answers to this question 🤔

Whoa this I did not see coming, especially after the layoff news: @bandcamp implemented the subsonic API so you can take your Bandcamp collection to open-source media players & infrastructure. I just set it up in seconds Honestly pretty cool, curious what this means for them

Guys GUYS im basically huge in Japan

unstream v2.5.0 for chrome and firefox rolling out imminently with some improvements to music playback detection across more websites! check it out at unstream.stream

Finally got cross-client login & sync working for Unstream! What this means: - anyone can create a user account on Unstream, not just artists - you can save artists you want to support on the web app, and those sync to your mac app / browser extension / other devices (1/2)

We intend to bring a lot more to Home over time, so don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback in the comments. And check out this excellent post from @bgreen.lol with more info. buff.ly/q4jUQok

Buffer has a new home page now

Learn why Buffer built a home page in 2026 and where Buffer's UX is heading from here.

buffer.com

When you next sign in to Buffer, you might notice you land in Home. This is the new hub for all your social activity. 🏡 Home brings elements of each area of Buffer into a single view: - Your posting streak, goals, and comment score - Your next 3 scheduled posts (there's more!)

I've been quiet about @buffer.com stuff! Well I have something to share today: we shipped a home screen for our web app 🏠 This was a fun project to work on because it's not a flashy new *feature*, but rather a new hub that brings together Buffer's tightly-integrated social toolkit. Here's mine!

I turned 38 today and I celebrated by being outside a lot

gonna be famous 5eva cause 4ever’s too short gonna be famous 3gether cause that’s 1 more than 2gether

Finally got most of the pieces in place to turn Unstream into a proper progressive web app: logins for non-artists, saving functionality, eventually release notifications. #musicsky

It bugs me that I’m now a popsocket person

Happy belated lagwagon day to all who celebrate youtu.be/Ihffc8LX2KU

It seems that Bandcamp has changed something on their end which is blocking Bandcamp artist pages from showing in Unstream’s search results (unless you’ve verified your page or have data listed in the Musicbrainz database). I’m investigating some options to resolve this. Stay tuned.

You probably haven’t heard it but my last album is kind of an ode to being an artist on the internet in 2025-2026 My goal was to clarify for myself how I feel about some things, and my secondary goal was for you to feel something

Had a fun idea tonight to add generative AI policy markers to the music platforms in #unstream search results Deploying in a few minutes #fairtrademusic #indiemusic #ai #bandcamp #mirlo #ampwall #bandwagon #musicsky

It's fun that Unstream is becoming a trusted directory for independent artists & the best ways to support them. This is part of my vision: to make it as clear and easy as possible who know you are listening to, the fact that they're a real artist/band, and that they deserve your support.

Who's gonna be the 50th musician to claim an Unstream page??????? #indie #musicsky #fairtrademusic #faircamp #bandcamp #supportindieartists

Unstream for Chrome v2.0.1 is out with some improvements to music detection on #bandcamp and YouTube. Grab it if you like this little thing I built and/or want to find ways to support the artists you listen to: chrome.google.com/webstore/det... #musicsky

Okay, Unstream 2.0 (the apps + extensions) are coming out now 🤘 Big change is that the apps are now fully *free* w/ optional donation. I've gotten some great feedback from some great people, and decided that this project is better suited for that model. #fairtrademusic #musicsky

Okay, a couple of fun things I'm working on for Unstream right now: - true artist pages & a process to claim them - artist page customization - curate your platform links, add a bio, add a featured release - embeds - a simple directory of verified #indie artists unstream.stream #musicsky

Unstream - Find Music on Alternative Platforms

Find what's playing on alternative platforms, directly support the artists you love, and move off streaming.

Something I still hear all the time from creators: "What's the best time to post?" The typical answer: "it depends, just try stuff" 😅 That's exhausting. So we've made it less so, with ✨Smart Scheduling✨ It's part of a bigger shift to make Buffer smarter. Learn more: buffer.com/resources/sm...

imagine if someone was like "I'm an AI parent, I imagined everything about my child and had AI give birth to it and raise it into adulthood and I'm so proud of them and I'd love for you to meet them"
