AltStore (https://altstore.io/) is available, but only has two apps last time I checked. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

AltServer from the AltStore folks allows you to automate the renewal of sideloaded apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s an excellent workaround. http://altstore.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller.

Some pieces may get disabled and reenabled... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Anyone aware of a similar feature for foobar2000? I have an extensive library mostly tagged from Discogs, including release IDs. In theory, this should be sufficient to cluster music by genres, pull similar releases from Discogs "similar" feature and correlate data from https://everynoise.com. Obviously, in case of album mixed genres things will mix up, but I'm not sure there's a model that can correlate existing... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

The article mentions Glenn McDonald's musical genre page (https://everynoise.com/, no longer refreshing with new Spotify data) as an example of a flexible graph-like exploration format, without being burdened by explicit connections. The author also has a thorough description of pros and cons of the general concept. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

This is from Glenn McDonald's blog, founder of "Every Noise at Once". He was laid off from Spotify (discussed here briefly [0]) --- https://everynoise.com/ is now in "archival copy" mode [1][2].
