album-mode.party
Web application that recommends albums based upon magic (aka randomly selecting an album from a list).
Development
Standard Remix setup here.
# Run the site in development mode @ http://localhost:3000
$ npm run dev
# Build the site
$ npm run build
Styling
I'm using tailwindcss for styling this site because I'm lazy. Nothing super special here
except that when editing tailwind.config.js, you must run the following command so that the application code has
access to the changes, which are generated to app/tailwind.config.json.
$ npm run seed-script -- scripts/dumpTailwindConfig.ts
Database
All the data used by this application lives in a sqlite database in data.db that is checked into this repo and
deployed to production along with the code. There are a fair amount of seed/scraping scripts to populate this database
with reviews from various publications. They can be run like so:
$ npm run seed-script -- app/jobs/pazz-and-jop.ts
I have also setup a Github Action that runs weekly to update the data from some publications every Sunday at noon.
Deployment
All deployments run through Netlify. You should never need to deploy from your local machine, but if you do, you can do the following:
# Build the site
$ npm run build
# Deploy to a preview branch with the netlify-cli
$ netlify deploy
# Deploy to production
$ netlify deploy --prod
