The original Ggdag website was actually my very first website. And as was the case with my first websites and first steps, I built it mainly for my own purposes. Other users had very limited or no options to add their own content to the site.
With this particular website, users had no options at all. The only way they could express themselves was to vote on the quality of the lyrics or the song translation. This new website fixes that in many ways – every user can now add their own version of the song from YouTube to any song, as well as their original song lyrics and their song translation, if the song is not in Czech or, at worst, Slovak.
Everything at most once, so there is no risk that a user will, for example, add 2 song translations to the same song. Or that a user will add 2 songs with the same name and artist – if they try, they are offered a link where they can see that this song already exists. Unfortunately, this website does not distinguish between Czech/Slovak, foreign and instrumental songs the way the Ggdag website did, so if a song is instrumental, the website will tell you about this problem, but you will still be able to add lyrics (or even a translation) to an instrumental song.
It just occurred to me that I will have to put my email on every page so that people can write to me if any misconduct appears, so that I can step in and delete such lyrics/video. The lyrics/video can also be deleted by the user themselves. That is another thing I need to finish – namely, when either I or the person who added it deletes the lyrics, the reference to those song lyrics should also be removed from the rating and popularity tables. When you click the colorful piano, you will get to the Home page .
Voting has been kept, which means that, from left to right, you can rate both the song lyrics and the translation on a scale of 1-5. If you are voting on given lyrics for the first time, a message will appear for 10 seconds showing the rating of the lyrics after your vote has been counted. However, you cannot delete or replace your vote in any way – if you vote on that song again, you will only be told that you have already voted with x stars. Also, if you are logged in, you can save any lyrics or translation to your favorites, and it will then be displayed on your profile.
And one last thing – the website consistently uses clean URIs, which means you will not find an address where the identifier is a number; instead, it contains only letters or hyphens and slashes – for example, one of the song addresses looks like this: https://lyrics.sunamo.cz/en/song/-2147483642 .
EDIT 5:47 PM : Both bold items – the shortcomings – have already been fixed.
