Simon Repp<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://malenfant.net/@didier" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>didier</span></a></span> Hey there, just wanted to let you know that the upcoming <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/faircamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faircamp</span></a> podcast feature release will include the possibility to link to specific timecodes in audio tracks from (e.g.) within the show notes (but technically you can rig any link to your release/track pages - both within or outside your faircamp site - with a timecode reference).</p><p>So e.g. the second link in your Lost Sets Diaries Volume 1 About text could become '[<a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/t" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>t</span></a>=5m26s](05:26) "Belize" by Anja Schneider.' (written as markdown here, can also be html of course) and that will take people right there when they click it.</p><p>Seeing your track list a few weeks ago kinda inspired me to include this, so I thought I'd let you know first. ;) Thanks for the inspiration!</p>
Simon Repp<p>The initial podcast feature release for <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/faircamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faircamp</span></a> will come with playback speed control already yay. :) Wasn't sure I could fit it in, but it's done, yess!</p><p>(this is opt-in in general, you can also enable it for your music if you want •ᴗ•)</p>

We delve into Simon’s projects, primarily Faircamp, a static site generator for musicians that allows them to host their music independently, much like Bandcamp but without the platform constraints.</p><p>Simon shares the origins of Faircamp, inspired by his own experiences as a musician and his desire for a platform that prioritizes simplicity and independence over commercial competition. We explore the technical aspects of Faircamp, including its foundation on Rust for efficient and bug-free coding, and its innovative use of FFmpeg for audio file conversion. Simon explains the concept of a “soft pay curtain,” a unique approach to voluntary payments for music downloads.</p><p>We also discuss the challenges and opportunities of self-hosted platforms, the role of static site generators, and Simon’s commitment to maintaining Faircamp as a low-maintenance, accessible tool for musicians.
