Changelog

Hopefully you don’t notice this, but we made some changes behind-the-scenes that will load lists-of-lists 3x as fast!

We’ve added a dedicated page for all albums! An album page shows all the lists that album belongs to, along with the notes that curator wrote about the album. Now it’s even easier to find great music and curators that share your same taste.

We've added this Changelog page. 🔥

We launched our new Discover section! We're really excited to see how this can grow with Album Whale. We know already that it will work better with more people using Album Whale, so now would be a great time to pass the word on to your album-loving friends. ❤️

We improved our homepage quite a bit. (You'll have to be logged out to see it.) We quite like the way it looks! And hopefully it does a better job explaining why Album Whale might be a thing one would enjoy. You'll need to scroll down. Albums, people. Albums!

We've done a lot of work on accessibilty. We hope this makes Album Whale easier to use for everyone. Related, we reduced the image sizes we're loading where we could. Hopefully that makes things snappier, especially on mobile.

We've cleaned up that first time experience with some hints to help you get going after signing up for Album Whale. Now is a great time to make your first list!

Album Whale update: Formatting your list has gotten a little more buttery smooth. Check out these options. Good for creating a simple gallery, a top 10 list, or a countdown of your all time favorite 50 complete with personal stories for each album. Give it a try!

You can now toggle your album list's layout between a grid view and a list view. List views are perfect for those who would like to write a solid paragraph about their selections. Think Adam Wood's 2022 list. 🧑‍🍳😘

Some small Album Whale updates heading into the weekend. A link to Staff Picks was moved into the nav to make it easier to see what's new. There's a copy link button on your list for easier sharing. Also, your list now has a little "curated by" section at the end.

We now have Dark Mode. No more need to wear sunglasses at night! 😎

On the heels of Bandcamp support people can now listen to any Bandcamp albums right on your list page. We want such things for all services, but Bandcamp makes it easy so you get that right now. Yes!

We're very excited because Album Whale now supports Bandcamp! Just paste in the URL from your favorite albums and we'll do the rest.

We've added an RSS feed for the Staff Picks page so you can keep up with some of the latest album lists posted to Album Whale.

You'll notice there is an RSS link in the upper-right of list pages. If you use RSS, you can see new albums added to your favorite lists in your feed reader.

Clever folks looking at their My Stuff pages will also notice that there is a new Staff Picks page to discover some new music.

You can now bookmark lists. Saving the list is a private action. You can see saved lists and when they were most recently updated on your My Stuff page.

Just pushed out favorites. Slap a heart on a list that you like, and you’ll see if others did the same to your lists.

Implemented a private To Try list, which you can add to from anyone else’s list. This is one of the two main functions we had in mind and why we wanted to build Album Whale. None of the streaming services provide a way to track albums you want to try.
