There’s no place like the music community in the Fediverse. These people have generously contributed to the existence and growth of The Indie Beat.

Creator of Bandwagon. Without the massive work he put into making the connection between Bandwagon and TIBR, TIBR would be a hollow shell of its current self.

Built the prototype that enabled us to link to each artist from the currently playing track in the player. I was lost in a certain cavernous part of my own physicality trying to solve this when AxWax rescued me with code and common sense.

Built and launched the totally tubular Roku app. I use it nearly every day.
Recorded a slew of station identifiers for TIBR which really make the experience just that much more awesome.
Ideas and introductions that have been implemented and made TIBR better.
Endlessly exploring how we can learn from what we’ve done to do it better in the future.

The most excellent Andy Piper has been an ardent supporter of TIBR, Bandwagon and loads of other good things on the Fedi. He has provided valuable introductions. He’s handed out our stickers at conferences (where he seems to always be). He shouts us out on podcasts. And he made the TIBR player for GNOME which is super nerdy and cool https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7822/the-indie-beat-fediverse-radio/
All of the incredibly talented, kind, generous humans who make up The Indie Art Support community. Many many many – most! – of the tracks on The Indie Beat come from these amazing people. You all welcomed a new kid (old lady) into the fold, embraced her little radio station, and made it what it is now. Thanks for helping turn dreams into reality with your music and your friendship.
