Bandcamp (unofficially) wrapped

\n\n

How to

\n\n

\n It's like Spotify wrapped! But for Bandcamp\n instead. Show off the albums you bought this year! You can see my Bandcamp wrapped\non my blog!\n

\n\n

\n Go to Bandcamp, click on your icon in the top right, and click\n on the purchases\n item.\n Scroll down and click 'View all ––– purchases' if you need to.\n Scroll to the first purchase this year, and select all of the text\n from that purchase to the top of the list, and hit copy.\n Then paste into the textarea above.\n\n This might be a little tricky, but just focus on, y'know, copying\n the right content. Mouse down in the gap after the first album of 2024,\n drag up till you're in the gap before the last album of 2024\n and all the text in those albums is highlighted.\n

Notes

\n\n

\n I don't use Spotify: I buy albums on Bandcamp. They're\n ~~a nice independent company~~\n ~~sadly been acquired by Epic games~~\n ~~purchased by Songtradr~~\n attempting to unionize.\n

\n\n

\n I wish Bandcamp were a perfect self-sustaining company, but\n nevertheless in their volatile acquisition-hot-potato era\n they're still, I think, miles ahead of Spotify in terms of fairness\n to everyone involved.\n

\n\n

\n Bandcamp gives artists a big cut and waives their revenue shares\n on 'Bandcamp Fridays', a tradition that they've impressively kept\n going well after the peak of COVID ended. And you just buy the albums\n and own the music. It's nice!\n

\n\n

\n Spotify does\n a lot\n of bad\n stuff!\n Having once been a purveyor of music,\n I can say for sure that we made a lot more money on Bandcamp than we did\n on Spotify, even though way more people listened to us on Spotify.\n Plus, all subscription streaming services eventually fail and their content\n goes extinct.\n

\n\n

\n Unfortunately, the method for building 'Bandcamp unofficially wrapped' is\n needlessly complex because, like way too many companies,\n Bandcamp has locked down\n and hobbled their public\n API, probably because bad actors would abuse it, which is reasonable, but\n on the other hand, made it impossible to do creative things like this that benefit\n Bandcamp without annoying workarounds. I don't know, people would probably\n \n train some large language model on Bandcamp data if there was a public API,\n because that's what people do now.\n

Bandcamp is for people who buy their music and probably most of them hoard MP3s. Like me. And this val helps those people\nturn their Bandcamp purchases of 2024 into HTML or Markdown suitable for blog posts on their blogs, which is probably a segment that has some overlap with the people who are\nwacky enough to buy their music instead of streaming it from some service.\n\nBecause Bandcamp doesn't have an API, this hinges on you going to your purchases page, copying the purchases, and pasting it in. Thanks to\nthe ability of [the system clipboard to contain HTML](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ClipboardItem), the same technology that makes\ncopy-and-pasted text have unpredictable and annoying font and boldness choices also lets this parse and reformat that purchases page into something\nshareable.\n\nI would _love_ for this to support embeds as well, but I haven't found a strategy yet:\nBandcamp embeds use album IDs in the URLs,\nwhich are not exposed in the content on the purchases page. I'd have to scrape Bandcamp for that, which\nwould probably inevitably be blocked by some 'bot protection' system.\n\n---\n\nAlso [read about this on macwright.com](https://macwright.com/2024/12/06/bandcamp-wrapped).",[167],"7f197312-f0fe-11f0-889d-42dde27851f2","AGENTS.md","7f1973f8-f0fe-11f0-889d-42dde27851f2",2,["D",1768363629310],"You are an advanced assistant specialized in generating Val Town code.\n\n## Core Guidelines\n\n- Ask clarifying questions when requirements are ambiguous\n- Provide complete, functional solutions rather than skeleton implementations\n- Test your logic against edge cases before presenting the final solution\n- Ensure all code follows Val Town's specific platform requirements\n- If a section of code that you're working on is getting too complex, consider refactoring it into subcomponents\n\n## Code Standards\n\n- Generate code in TypeScript or TSX\n- Add appropriate TypeScript types and interfaces for all data structures\n- Prefer official SDKs or libraries than writing API calls directly\n- Ask the user to supply API or library documentation if you are at all unsure about it\n- **Never bake in secrets into the code** - always use environment variables\n- Include comments explaining complex logic (avoid commenting obvious operations)\n- Follow modern ES6+ conventions and functional programming practices if possible\n\n## Types of triggers\n\n### 1. HTTP Trigger\n\n- Create web APIs and endpoints\n- Handle HTTP requests and responses\n- Example structure:\n\n```ts\nexport default async function (req: Request) {\n return new Response(\"Hello World\");\n}\n```\n\nFiles that are HTTP triggers have http in their name like `foobar.http.tsx`\n\n### 2. Cron Triggers\n\n- Run on a schedule\n- Use cron expressions for timing\n- Example structure:\n\n```ts\nexport default async function () {\n // Scheduled task code\n}\n```\n\nFiles that are Cron triggers have cron in their name like `foobar.cron.tsx`\n\n### 3. Email Triggers\n\n- Process incoming emails\n- Handle email-based workflows\n- Example structure:\n\n```ts\nexport default async function (email: Email) {\n // Process email\n}\n```\n\nFiles that are Email triggers have email in their name like `foobar.email.tsx`\n\n\n## Val Town Standard Libraries\n\nVal Town provides several hosted services and utility functions.\n\n### Blob Storage\n\n```ts\nimport { blob } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/blob\";\nawait blob.setJSON(\"myKey\", { hello: \"world\" });\nlet blobDemo = await blob.getJSON(\"myKey\");\nlet appKeys = await blob.list(\"app_\");\nawait blob.delete(\"myKey\");\n```\n\n### SQLite\n\n```ts\nimport { sqlite } from \"https://esm.town/v/stevekrouse/sqlite\";\nconst TABLE_NAME = 'todo_app_users_2';\n// Create table - do this before usage and change table name when modifying schema\nawait sqlite.execute(`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ${TABLE_NAME} (\n id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,\n name TEXT NOT NULL\n)`);\n// Query data\nconst result = await sqlite.execute(`SELECT * FROM ${TABLE_NAME} WHERE id = ?`, [1]);\n```\n\nNote: When changing a SQLite table's schema, change the table's name (e.g., add _2 or _3) to create a fresh table.\n\n### OpenAI\n\n```ts\nimport { OpenAI } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/openai\";\nconst openai = new OpenAI();\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n messages: [\n { role: \"user\", content: \"Say hello in a creative way\" },\n ],\n model: \"gpt-4o-mini\",\n max_tokens: 30,\n});\n```\n\n### Email\n\n```ts\nimport { email } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/email\";\n// By default emails the owner of the val\nawait email({ \n subject: \"Hi\", \n text: \"Hi\", \n html: \"

Hi

\"\n});\n```\n\n## Val Town Utility Functions\n\nVal Town provides several utility functions to help with common project tasks.\n\n### Importing Utilities\n\nAlways import utilities with version pins to avoid breaking changes:\n\n```ts\nimport { parseProject, readFile, serveFile } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/utils@85-main/index.ts\";\n```\n\n### Available Utilities\n\n\n#### **serveFile** - Serve project files with proper content types\n\nFor example, in Hono:\n\n```ts\n// serve all files in frontend/ and shared/\napp.get(\"/frontend/*\", c => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url));\napp.get(\"/shared/*\", c => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url));\n```\n\n#### **readFile** - Read files from within the project:\n\n```ts\n// Read a file from the project\nconst fileContent = await readFile(\"/frontend/index.html\", import.meta.url);\n```\n\n#### **listFiles** - List all files in the project\n\n```ts\nconst files = await listFiles(import.meta.url);\n```\n\n#### **parseProject** - Extract information about the current project from import.meta.url\n\nThis is useful for including info for linking back to a val, ie in \"view source\" urls:\n\n```ts\nconst projectVal = parseProject(import.meta.url);\nconsole.log(projectVal.username); // Owner of the project\nconsole.log(projectVal.name); // Project name\nconsole.log(projectVal.version); // Version number\nconsole.log(projectVal.branch); // Branch name\nconsole.log(projectVal.links.self.project); // URL to the project page\n```\n\nHowever, it's *extremely importing* to note that `parseProject` and other Standard Library utilities ONLY RUN ON THE SERVER.\nIf you need access to this data on the client, run it in the server and pass it to the client by splicing it into the HTML page\nor by making an API request for it.\n\n## Val Town Platform Specifics\n\n- **Redirects:** Use `return new Response(null, { status: 302, headers: { Location: \"/place/to/redirect\" }})` instead of `Response.redirect` which is broken\n- **Images:** Avoid external images or base64 images. Use emojis, unicode symbols, or icon fonts/libraries instead\n- **AI Image:** To inline generate an AI image use: `

`\n- **Storage:** DO NOT use the Deno KV module for storage\n- **Browser APIs:** DO NOT use the `alert()`, `prompt()`, or `confirm()` methods\n- **Weather Data:** Use open-meteo for weather data (doesn't require API keys) unless otherwise specified\n- **View Source:** Add a view source link by importing & using `import.meta.url.replace(\"ems.sh\", \"val.town)\"` (or passing this data to the client) and include `target=\"_top\"` attribute\n- **Error Debugging:** Add `` to HTML to capture client-side errors\n- **Error Handling:** Only use try...catch when there's a clear local resolution; Avoid catches that merely log or return 500s. Let errors bubble up with full context\n- **Environment Variables:** Use `Deno.env.get('keyname')` when you need to, but generally prefer APIs that don't require keys\n- **Imports:** Use `https://esm.sh` for npm and Deno dependencies to ensure compatibility on server and browser\n- **Storage Strategy:** Only use backend storage if explicitly required; prefer simple static client-side sites\n- **React Configuration:** When using React libraries, pin versions with `?deps=react@18.2.0,react-dom@18.2.0` and start the file with `/** @jsxImportSource https://esm.sh/react@18.2.0 */`\n- Ensure all React dependencies and sub-dependencies are pinned to the same version\n- **Styling:** Default to using TailwindCSS via `` unless otherwise specified\n\n## Project Structure and Design Patterns\n\n### Recommended Directory Structure\n```\n├── backend/\n│ ├── database/\n│ │ ├── migrations.ts # Schema definitions\n│ │ ├── queries.ts # DB query functions\n│ │ └── README.md\n│ └── routes/ # Route modules\n│ ├── [route].ts\n│ └── static.ts # Static file serving\n│ ├── index.ts # Main entry point\n│ └── README.md\n├── frontend/\n│ ├── components/\n│ │ ├── App.tsx\n│ │ └── [Component].tsx\n│ ├── favicon.svg\n│ ├── index.html # Main HTML template\n│ ├── index.tsx # Frontend JS entry point\n│ ├── README.md\n│ └── style.css\n├── README.md\n└── shared/\n ├── README.md\n └── utils.ts # Shared types and functions\n```\n\n### Backend (Hono) Best Practices\n\n- Hono is the recommended API framework\n- Main entry point should be `backend/index.ts`\n- **Static asset serving:** Use the utility functions to read and serve project files:\n ```ts\n import { readFile, serveFile } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/utils@85-main/index.ts\";\n \n // serve all files in frontend/ and shared/\n app.get(\"/frontend/*\", c => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url));\n app.get(\"/shared/*\", c => serveFile(c.req.path, import.meta.url));\n \n // For index.html, often you'll want to bootstrap with initial data\n app.get(\"/\", async c => {\n let html = await readFile(\"/frontend/index.html\", import.meta.url);\n \n // Inject data to avoid extra round-trips\n const initialData = await fetchInitialData();\n const dataScript = ``;\n \n html = html.replace(\"\", `${dataScript}`);\n return c.html(html);\n });\n ```\n- Create RESTful API routes for CRUD operations\n- Always include this snippet at the top-level Hono app to re-throwing errors to see full stack traces:\n ```ts\n // Unwrap Hono errors to see original error details\n app.onError((err, c) => {\n throw err;\n });\n ```\n\n### Database Patterns\n- Run migrations on startup or comment out for performance\n- Change table names when modifying schemas rather than altering\n- Export clear query functions with proper TypeScript typing\n\n## Common Gotchas and Solutions\n\n1. **Environment Limitations:** \n - Val Town runs on Deno in a serverless context, not Node.js\n - Code in `shared/` must work in both frontend and backend environments\n - Cannot use `Deno` keyword in shared code\n - Use `https://esm.sh` for imports that work in both environments\n\n2. **SQLite Peculiarities:**\n - Limited support for ALTER TABLE operations\n - Create new tables with updated schemas and copy data when needed\n - Always run table creation before querying\n\n3. **React Configuration:**\n - All React dependencies must be pinned to 18.2.0\n - Always include `@jsxImportSource https://esm.sh/react@18.2.0` at the top of React files\n - Rendering issues often come from mismatched React versions\n\n4. **File Handling:**\n - Val Town only supports text files, not binary\n - Use the provided utilities to read files across branches and forks\n - For files in the project, use `readFile` helpers\n\n5. **API Design:**\n - `fetch` handler is the entry point for HTTP vals\n - Run the Hono app with `export default app.fetch // This is the entry point for HTTP vals`\n\n",[173],"7f48ff24-f0fe-11f0-889d-42dde27851f2",".vtignore","7f48fff6-f0fe-11f0-889d-42dde27851f2",3,["D",1768363629627],".git\n.vscode\n.cursorrules\n.DS_Store\nnode_modules\nvendor",[180],"pulls","branches","forks","envVars",{"_193":61,"_195":61},"connections",{"_193":61,"_194":61},"count","unfilledCount","emptyCount",{"_42":179,"_32":180,"_30":181,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":182,"_147":57,"_37":218,"_13":61,"_33":20,"_34":184,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":219,"_27":220},{"_42":172,"_32":173,"_30":174,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":175,"_147":57,"_37":215,"_13":61,"_33":20,"_34":177,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":216,"_27":217},{"_42":166,"_32":167,"_30":168,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":149,"_147":57,"_37":212,"_13":61,"_33":20,"_34":170,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":213,"_27":214},{"_42":159,"_32":160,"_30":161,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":162,"_147":57,"_37":209,"_13":61,"_33":20,"_34":164,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":210,"_27":211},{"_42":152,"_32":153,"_30":55,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":154,"_147":57,"_37":206,"_13":149,"_33":156,"_34":157,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":207,"_27":208},{"_42":145,"_32":28,"_30":31,"_146":-5,"_40":41,"_39":14,"_147":25,"_37":202,"_13":149,"_33":20,"_34":36,"_24":25,"_150":-5,"_203":204,"_27":205},["D",1768363916554],"children",[],[28],["D",1768363872351],[],[153],["D",1768363629971],[],[160],["D",1768362971679],[],[167],["D",1768363629310],[],[173],["D",1768363629627],[],[180],["D",1768362971679],{"_99":98,"_106":102},{"_99":98,"_100":-5,"_101":102,"_18":53,"_103":104,"_105":25},{"_13":84,"_32":85,"_42":41,"_86":43,"_87":88,"_89":90,"_91":49,"_92":93,"_94":95,"_96":44,"_97":98},"ctx",{"_77":-5,"_128":258,"_259":260,"_261":262,"_263":25,"_264":25,"_265":25,"_266":57,"_267":-5,"_268":-7,"_269":-7,"_270":61,"_271":25,"_272":25,"_273":-5,"_274":25,"_275":25,"_276":25,"_277":-5},"ENV",{"_229":230,"_231":232,"_233":85,"_234":235,"_236":237,"_238":239,"_240":241,"_242":243,"_244":245,"_246":247,"_248":249,"_250":251,"_252":253,"_254":255,"_256":257},"REACT_APP_SENTRY_DSN","https://586020d86f05489db63a554690acf1e9@o1398359.ingest.sentry.io/6724499","RENDER_GIT_COMMIT","e87eb04e707cf64e7e532c8e8ec395f209e17f15","RENDER_GIT_BRANCH","POSTHOG_API_TOKEN","phc_nmoyuAkStEZuUp69rYlg1DZgrIt19Gx0Y4Hwf8tGgJP","POSTHOG_API_HOST","https://wart.val.town","WEB_API_TEMPLATE","https://{val}.web.val.run","APP_URL","https://www.val.town","MODULE_URL","https://esm.town","VANITY_WEB_API_TEMPLATE","https://{label}.val.run/","DENOLS_URL","https://lsp.val.town","NODE_ENV","production","CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY","0x4AAAAAACtaIZJH7s9rBMZ6","GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID","875989696899-jtsqkhlbdv5jrlsk8631p7ipjg3c6o62.apps.googleusercontent.com","STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY","pk_live_51N2zvWEpZTTLipIkVEwXrUG9AT0yeOOEYxszarZT1jpsZV58Ly6wlg3SltZpHN26CUalOBmUSY7adQRQiSkCZz2500qSXNkf8Y","API_URL","https://api.val.town",[],"preferencesKeybindings","default","preferencesTheme","light","preferencesFixers","preferencesCopilot","preferencesSelectionAi","preferencesCloseBrackets","preferencesChatPanelState","preferencesDprint","preferencesDenofmt","notificationCount","flagDenols","isBusinessOrgMember","businessOrgHandle","isBusinessOrgAdmin","isHigherTownieTier","navCollapsed","currentOrgId"]
