Been using my Lens advanced search tool (predictcrypto.shinyapps.io/LensAdvancedSearch/)) to find Lo-Fi music that I like to build my playlists on @spinamp.lens. So cool to be able to build your own tools for content discovery, interact with the content & collect on a regular front-end like @lenster.lens, and then be able to come back to that content with a music specific app.

It's honestly starting to make me really dislike using products like Youtube where I have no control over things or even know how it works. So many times for example I want to click on a recommended video but have navigated to a different page, and when I go back it's gone and impossible to find. In fact for all I know it's purposely doing that to maximize my engagement stats and page views. To give another example, I should be able to create my own frontend to make myself a "productive" version of youtube with interesting educational content, but also a "fuck around" version of my youtube feed. Because you may come to youtube for some educational content but instead get sucked down random entertaining videos.
