Heyo, it's been 2 weeks since my last changelog, so I figure there's enough fun content to share now!
As a reminder, the entire SubmitHub team will be at SXSW in mid-March. Keep posted on our Instagram.
Historically, you've been able to filter the list of curators by the category of their platform (eg, Blog, Spotify Playlister). The shortfall of this system is that there are many curators who share songs cross-platform, such as the "Blog" Stereofox, who blog, playlist, and share on social media. This meant that filtering by "Spotify Playlister," for example, would exclude Stereofox from the list, even though they share every song to an actively engaged Spotify playlist.
The solution was to change the filter so that it represents *where* they share rather than the broad categorization of their outlet. So long as at least 20% of their shares are going to that platform, they'll appear when you filter.
I also went ahead and decluttered the "typically shares as" section under "Engagement" to use icons when text might become too overwhelming.
All of this is an effort to reward curators who share songs cross-platform because more is better :)
Folks have been asking for Meta's Conversions API to be integrated, so I went ahead and did that. What I really like about this solution is that it means SubmitHub Links just got a little bit faster. Typically, when you load a Link, there are 3 network requests:
With this new approach, we can skip #3 altogether, making SubmitHub links that little bit faster. And that's a big win in my book!
Here's a test one that Tilly helped set up: greed-eyed.sbmt.to <— yes, that's a fancy new shortlink!
