Has been a while since the last blog post, so it's time to keep you updated about the present and future of Coda. In the past couple of weeks we where busy optimizing our code and server configuration to be able to cope with the increasing traffic; this efforts resulted in better response times (it should be noticeable) and buy us more time before being forced to upgrade our hardware.
Now we are free to continue adding more features, and you should expect those listed below to be ready before May.
Weekly rankings
Currently, the ranking of popularity of albums and artists are based on the total download count of albums, and this ended in increasingly stagnant rankings. The implementation of a weekly ranking should result in more dynamic and useful rankings, showing the latest trends.
We are going to keep the ranking based in totals too, so you can choose what interest you most.
Extended rankings lists
Speaking of rankings, we are going to offer longer lists (in addition to the current lists) to be able to see more items ranked below the current limit.
User profile
We are going to add you the possibility of customize your user page, being able to create a user profile and tell more about you (if you want to). Not a very useful feature by itself, but we plan to add in the future social-network like features (like connecting with other users, list your favorite artists, etc) and being able to describe yourself should be the first step in that direction.
Support for albums by various artists
Surely you have noticed that currently they aren't any albums by various artist available in Coda, or that your submitted torrents of albums by VA (usually soundtracks and compilations) aren't being approved.
This is a current limitation of the platform, and we plan to fix it soon. If you have affected torrents waiting for approval, don't delete them, those will we published, eventually.
Stay tuned, we're going to announce and explain the new features as being deployed in this blog.
Cheers !
The Coda.fm administrator
