Drummers are probably going to be the "attractive person" equivalent on this app lol

What’s the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?

You only have to punch the beat into a drum machine once.

(Had bands and multiple drummers. Love’m)

What does a drummer use for birth control? Their personality.

(Agree with sibling posts, getting a great drummer is hard and amazing.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the "app" form-factor is preferrable to a "website" for a lot of people. Almost every website I've built over the past 10 years (summing to ~900k-ish users) has had constant streams of users always requesting an app alternative to the website, quote "even if it's just the regular website in an app".

You just described a web app. Go forth and sin no more

People don't like web apps and don't know how to install PWA's (by design of the OS manufacturers that make money from developers needing to pay to be on their hosted platforms). Like it or not, if you tell someone you have a product to use on their phone, they're going to want it to be in the App Store.

Cool idea, but I'm not giving you my location. Please allow me to select a city manually.

I figured that "allow once, approximate location" would be sufficient for the privacy conscious.

A little scared to make it selectable, as it would make it much easier for spammers/scammers to target locations, as the only verification is email. I do realize they can still change their location that with an emulator.

I’m not going to install this because I’m not looking for a band, but it would be cool if you could keep in mind solo musicians often need to hire a band in order to play This could be a good way for people to find that when they don’t have other musicians in their network who can fill that role for them.

seems like something a website could do and not require an app. I hope the dev learned a lot about making an app while building this, as that seems the only purpose for app only to me. Unless they want to get at all of that precious data hoovering money potential. I have become so callused and cynical from malicious devs, that's my first thought on anything that is an app instead of a website

A good chunk of my motivation for building this was to get learn React native and get experience with building out real-time messaging.

My Roland MC-505 is in violent agreement.

We did have a drummer but unfortunately he died in a bizarre gardening accident.

On stage or off? (What? There could be a band that does live gardening as part of its routine.)

I’m slow. Can somebody explain all the drummer jokes? What’s wrong with drummers?
