Here's the case study for yesterday's @FutureIslands "As Long As You Are" global album premiere web app! This one is full of interesting solutions. #alayalisteningparty medium.com/@leemartin/how…
For one, I share how @maxmind, @mapbox, and @wikidata were used to not only locate where users were but also define a dynamic visitor threshold for each location. (Used in the unlocking of the album stream.)
I also share a bit of my @goserverless, @dynamodb, @dynamodb stream, and @pusher setup which was used to both store and share all the visitor and chat message data in real-time. Special props to @pusher for allowing us to dynamically spin up location specific channels on the fly.
Alright, brand new web app for the lovely fellows @FutureIslands and their incredible new release "As Long As You Are." Invite people close to you to unlock a stream of the new record and listen together. aslongasyouare.com #alayalisteningparty
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to create a frictionless global album premiere so the only requirement of the app is to simply visit the link. Upon arrival, we use @maxmind to turn your ip address into a pair of coordinates.
Those coordinates are then used to query the @Mapbox Geocoding API so we know where in the world you are and in what region (state, province, prefecture.)
