The all-new cover versioning system

Written on 2023-05-21 by yours truly

I have a problem — I'm too perfectionistic. It gets in my way.

So what I decided to do, is to implement a cover versioning system for the covers tab. If a cover is a later version of a song, a v2 (or vn where n > 1, really) will show up next to it.

I could also have made it show up regardless of what version it is, but that looked cluttered, and wouldn't be very useful (most covers will be finished after the first version anyway).

One downside of Hygraph is that its templating system for slugs wasn't powerful enough for me to automatically include the version number, but there are worse things in life.

I don't think I'll ever include v1 for a cover, even if I know I'll redo it in future. I'll just put in in the description — speaking of which — I'm going to put that in the description of every cover all covers that I'll redo.

What I'm still indecisive about is whether or not I want to include the note v1 automatically if a later version exists. I might implement that if the current iteration doesn't suffice.

Anyway, eet smakelijk als je nog moet eten!¹
