Cool site! For paths it might be nice to have to the option to place an X where a light bulb definitely couldn't go. Unless if you left that out on purpose of course :)
I think it's pretty common actually among some immigrant groups (2nd gen Indians in the US at least, of which I am one).
I was born in the US, but my first language was Marathi, and it was really the only language I was fluent in until I was around 4. After learning English in school, I started to always answer my parents in English. We didn't really live near a Marathi community, so it came to be that I could understand Marathi fluently (albeit with very limited vocabulary) around family but couldn't form a sentence to save my life.
Same story for all my US/Canadian cousins, and most other 2nd gen desis I've met.

Hey there! I'm a software engineer based in Chicago with 11+ yoe working in consulting and startups. I've had a good amount of exposure and experience across the stack, working with devops heavy projects, microservices APIs, and frontend applications. Most recently I've been deep in the world of data cleansing/pipelining/analytics, but not sure if I want to continue that path or return to more traditional application systems development.
I'm open to senior/lead eng roles at product shops or consulting shops. Would love to either work in an interesting tech stack or solve interesting domain problems. Would love to be in a role that's science/environment/medicine adjacent. Preference for teams with mature CI/CD and testing practices
I downloaded the app, but running into an infinite spinner on the main "Artists" tab, so can't really comment on the what the app is like...
What I will say is that it seems a little unfortunate that so many "matching" apps take the tinder swipe model these days when it really makes the matching experience worse.
I have a friend who's a drummer in central Illinois. He's used https://www.bandmix.com to find multiple groups that he's been jamming with for a while now. The UI is such that you can see a grid of all the bands/artists matching your criteria, and can facet and filter your search in the sidebar with a lot of other options including distance, commitment level, genre, etc.
Thanks for checking it out. Ugh, I thought I had fixed the infinite spin, but it seems to happen on the first app open occasionally still - its related to permissions dialog
I intend to add filtering, but didn't initially because 0 people use it currently, and also wanted to get an mvp out quickly
By swiping you force people to ‘rate’ everyone they see. You can then use a method like the Elo rating system to match musicians of similar skill levels (or desirability?) more easily.
The swipe feature, while familiar to users, may not be the most efficient way for musicians to connect and form bands. A UX that allows creating a band and receive applications could prove more effective, then perhaps you can use the swipe to accept or reject them into your band.
Filters are useful to narrow a list but they're useless for actually recording a decision against each item in the set. They're just not a mechanic for assigning a (boolean) value. Swiping is, and that's what's happening here.
Oh man, totally. The feeling of impending doom that's always in the background stalking even the happy moments.
Depression runs in our family and the portrayal of it was phenomenal, especially when they measure the size of the moon. From outer perspective they are told all will be fine but they aren't convinced and in the end it seems all the doom and gloom was justified - just how a depressive mind naturally is pulled towards the negative and creates self fulfilling prophecies.
If you have a Roku or Android TV box you should check out Pluto TV. It's a free live TV streaming app. There is a channel on there that is only star trek in Spanish. Personally I've never seen anything on that channel that wasn't TNG
