I spent the last day or so completely redesigning the Music page here on the blog. I took inspiration from the week view on Last FM. It’s not as colorful, and I still have some work to do (the background of the div containers are not right), but it’s pretty great.

LastFM provides quite a bit of info via their API. I hate relying on LastFM, so I’ll probably eventually grab the data from ListenBrainz (which I mirror to already), but I know the LastFM API better, so the redesign still works off of that.

I still use CI/CD to update the data, but I’ve spread it out a little as I was hitting some API usage rate errors from time to time.

I also want to figure out how to put something of this data on the home page of my blog. Not sure how that will look yet, but I have a few ideas.

This was the first work I’ve done on this site in months, and it felt good to get back into things. Part of my fun blogging is tweaking my blog, so I’m glad I’m back.

Take a look at the new page, and let me know what you think!
