v1.2.0

Busk Map v1.2.0, live at https://buskmap.app. Plan a busk in any city, not just Melbourne.

What's new

• Any city. Search for a city in the busk form. The Hive plans there with live Qloo taste data, the weather, events and busy places, in the city's own time zone.
• The whole city, not one block. Big cities are planned with their suburbs. The Hive finds the named areas around the city, compares them, and searches the best ones up close. The top 3 pitches come from different areas.
• Pitches from OpenStreetMap. Outside Melbourne, pitches are public squares, pedestrian streets, markets and promenades from OpenStreetMap. If OpenStreetMap doesn't answer, pitches stand at the strongest taste spots, named after their area and the nearest venue.
• Every signal says how sure it is. Outside Melbourne each signal shows Live data, Estimate or Not checked. Busking rules there read "Not checked": check with the city before you play.
• Plan a busk where your fans are. Each city on the Repertoire's fans map has a "Plan a busk here" link.
• Find your act on Spotify. The Repertoire starts from a Spotify search; no link to copy.
• Better research for acts Qloo doesn't know. The Hive fills in the artists you sound like and suggests genres from your music and theirs, ready to confirm. You can search Qloo's genres by name.

Fixes

• The Hive always finishes its plan.
• No Qloo request is sent without a valid signal.
• Places are never read as music genres.
• The Hive's notes use plain words.

Under the hood

• A cities table records each city planned.
• package.json is 1.2.0, matching the tag.

Known limits

• Busking rules are only checked in Melbourne.
• OpenStreetMap's query service is often slow; plans fall back to taste spots when it is.
