- I clicked Karol Szymanowski and I didn't notice I can scroll to see the content - only after reading HN comment I figured out I missed something. There needs to be an arrow or text needs to be formatted differently.
- Breadcrumbs keeps appending even though I go back
- Players show you can skip part of the sample, but you can't
It's amazing. Not that I'm interested in Polish composers specifically. If you could find a way to generate these for different fields (mathematicians in specific domains, machine learning researchers, electronic musicians in different genres, DJs, etc whatever people are interested in), it would be awesome! You could have a set of websites for different topics (and, who knows, maybe make money from ads related to the topics).
The UI still needs work (especially for mobile) and there's a lot of missing data, but the platform itself is up and running.
It's essentially IMDB for everything. You can list people's work and see all the relationships i.e. is that part of other stuff? who used something as a tool? who else worked on it?
Seems very buggy due to handling of requests - some examples:
- if I'll search for "Zagajewski", then search for "Fryderyk", I still get "Zagajewski Artur" in results; what should happen is it should clear results on blur
- if I click Timeline, then Centers, then Timeline again all it does it makes the dots juggle; what should happen is there should be a loading bar indicating loading of resources and rendering
On Firefox 60.6.3, when I click on a composer’s name and an article pops up, I am unable to scroll down in that article. Consequently, I can only view the first lines of any article. I am running uBlock Origin and NoScript, but I have enabled all scripts except Google Tag Manager and HotJar, and I don’t think those two scripts should be necessary for a site’s functionality. Anyone else experiencing the same?
Thanks for bringing it. Sadly, I have no control over the current form.

I was given the data. There is an accompanying write-up: https://culture.pl/en/article/what-makes-a-composer-polish
