Not to diss an open source project, but Faircamp is “just” a static site generator for artists that want to showcase their music. It has no storefront, can no communicate with customers, etc. People need a lot more than a nice-looking playlist .
If you are considering an alternative for Bandcamp, may I contact you? I am working on something that I hope can both be useful for artists looking for a mor stable income stream and music listeners who want an alternative to Spotify.

If you distribute FLACs and have good musicbrainz integration (userscript or otherwise) you’ll definitely have an audience on Lemmy
