Well I guess we don't need this message board anymore. Pack it up everyone. Time to go home.

No way. Vinylcollective is love, vinylcollective is life.

So new user #1 makes new app.

New user #2 comments only compliments.

New user #1 replies returning the compliment.

All other commentators...ignored?

Fishy emoji?

 

Also is this the same app you posted about 2 years ago....and then dissapeared?

Hahaha. I'm mostly a lurker. 

I posted about the web app a while back. I just recently created the mobile app. 

Wait i'm new user #1 and i've posted 2 years ago?

Very cool!!! I'll be checking it out daily, thanks for all your efforts!

Awesome! PM me if you run into any issues. 

I like how when it's loading the bottom of the page says "pressing more records". nice touch. looks like a cool project. 

Haha. Glad you picked that up. Thanks.

needs some sort of bargaining it feature.

Like "Records under $10"?

You should update the Chew Toys record so it's not a Bloodhound Gang single...that looks like male genitalia.

Haha. Good catch, I'll take a look as to why it's not fetching the right album art for that one.

might be a good idea to disclose the referral link angle up front. Some people get bent out of shape about that stuff.

Good point, added to the original post. 

It looks good, which is always a plus. It would be nice if there was a way to give you a list based on stuff you like so that you aren't flooded with a slew of records irrelevant to your tastes, without having to create a list of artists in this standalone app. If you're pulling the info off discogs, perhaps it could read your "already have" records and show you new releases by THOSE artists first?

That's a good idea. I was also thinking about adding an option to pull artists from a user's last.fm account.

is discogs your only source of release information?

 

what are the advantages over just using discogs?

I actually use Amazon and link to Discogs if available there. If i'm not mistaken, Discogs doesn't have the capability to browse by new releases  (i.e. by record release-date), but rather by new additions to the market place (i.e. the date a record was posted for sale on discogs).

I could be wrong, but I just wanted a way to simply see what new records are out.

Sounds like a great idea, as I'm always on mobile sometimes my news sites are a little unreliable unless being viewed via desktop. Will check this out later, thanks!

Awesome, please let me know your thoughts. It's responsive, so should work fine on mobile. I may do a native mobile version at some point down the line.

I wanted a simple way to view new vinyl releases/reissues, so I wrote an app: http://fresh-records.com/

Features include:

• Find record on Discogs (if available)
  
• Preview on Spotify (if available)
  
• Wish list (when a record in your wish list is released, you'll receive an email notification)
  
• Follow artists (when a record for an artist you're following is released, you'll receive an email notification)
  

Suggestions and comments welcomed!

Note: The Amazon link has a referral code in it.
