About this website:

This website was first completed in the last week of the March 2020. The concept of this site is that, since we cannot receive accurate results from the bandcamp.com/search website, we would have to create our own "search engine" in order for us and others to be able to search for the info there.

For example, if you try to look up records on their own search, you will receive about 108 records. That's definitely not accurate as we can see from this site's results.

Another feature that is planned for this site is a 2D canvas element on which you will basically click on a random location. This will post an integer number to my site, and then you will receive and follow to the bandcamp subdomain url that is affiliated with that particular entry in the complete un-paged index of urls.

If we get enough money or demand or whatever we can also make various social media - like interfaces so that you can rate or otherwise add to a list of what you thought were good artists/pages.

The technologies which we are using to make this site are: Linux, WinSCP, PuTTY, Python, Flask, HTML, CSS. Each time a search is submitted, the Python backend code iterates through the text data for the URLs in order to return the results. The text editors we are using are Geany (for Python) and Notepad3 (for various). One thing we found helpful was to delete the notepad.exe file in the windows directories and use mklink to redirect notepad.exe to our notepad3.exe file. That's somewhat advanced and I don't recommend it for most people but it has been pretty helpful for various reasons.

While developing this site we have noticed something weird, which is that Google Chrome really likes to cache the website and keep giving you that cached site even if you refresh it.
