New open source Bandcamp alternative "Mirlo" is a worker co-op! (mirlo.space)

So about half a year ago somebody posted about Faircamp, a self-hosted open source alt for Bandcamp. It's really awesome, but I thought people might also want to know about a new one called Mirlo. This one is also open source, so it could ostensibly be self-hosted if you wanted, but the main thing is that it's got this flagship hosted option. Very similar to the Bandcamp experience, from the musician side. No techy stuff required at all, so I think this one might be way more user friendly for non-tech savvy folks!

AFAIK, neither Faircamp nor Mirlo have integrated ActivityPub support yet, but it seems entirely possible. Both do currently support subscription via RSS. Honestly I kinda feel like both platforms should collaborate, if they aren't already!

Maybe they could even get hooked up with RadioFreeFedi and do like featured artists and stuff.

Faircamp repo.

[PROMO][STORE] - Sell your music on Mirlo (mirlo.space)

Dear fellow musicians,

Today, I'd like to share with you one of my favourite Bandcamp's alternatives!
It is called Mirlo (@[email protected]) and, from their website:

Mirlo provides a user-friendly space to help musicians sell music, manage subscriptions, and share with their supporters.
Directly support musicians. Buy their music. Collectively owned and managed.

This is not a promotion tool, however, it features a couple of "discovery" ways that people can find your music and, needless to say, it's a place where to monetize it.

The current pricing is the following: "Mirlo uses a transparent and consistent pricing model. We charge you 7% of your sale, and our payment processor (Stripe) takes a roughly 3% cut."

You can find all the features here.

They are launching a Kickstarter campaign soon, I haven't checked the details yet (if any), but keep an eye on that if you're interested on what they are coming up with! 😀
