I've got a couple of different things going as per usual, but the one that I'm currently most excited about is Lotus Eater:

https://lotuseater.epiccoleman.com/

It's a mostly vibe-coded fan site for jamtronica greats Lotus. I wrote/prompted a scraper to pull in setlist data from Nugs and have been having a lot of fun coming up with cool data analysis stuff to do with their sets.

I've seen them 7 times (chump change compared to some fans) and was starting to get certain intuitions about like, "if I hear song X that probably means they won't play song Y." For example, one of my favorite Lotus tunes, It's All Clear To Me Now, seems to fulfill a similar "function" as another song - Did Fatt.

It was pretty cool to see that intuition bear out in the data (they've only ever been played in the same show one time in over 900 total shows).

I've got a bunch of other "data" features sitting in a PR in my Gitlab, need to get around to reviewing and testing it so I can push out the next update. Also have a few other ideas for it, although I think there's probably a point coming fairly soon where there's not really anything left to do.

I posted it on the main Lotus fan group on Facebook. I have a grand total 8 users. I love those users.

The site is nothing crazy, it will never make money or anything - but it's just been a ton of fun to have something cool to hack around on.
