Do you wish for plenty of records to be pressed on vinyl ? If yes, needl is the place for you !
needl is a web app that helps vinyl collectors share their wishes with others. The only rule is that records showcased on needl mustn't have been already widely pressed.
On needl, you can submit any records you wish were pressed and also back the records submitted by others.
-Note that this is still a work in progress and design choices are always subjected to change.
The home page of needl is where you'll access all of the vinyls that were submitted.
You can directly access the album and artist names of the vinyl without actually having to click on it. Just hover your mouse over the album covers.
We've also added filters to display certain types of vinyls (by date and number of votes).
-A full text search function is being worked on
To submit or edit vinyls and also comment you will need to log into needl. This is done via Google authentication, so a Google account is required.
To actually log in, just click on the Sign in with Google located in the top bar. Note that if you try to submit a vinyl or comment while not logged in you will be redirected to the Google authentication page.
While logged in you can access your profile or sign out by clicking on your name or picture.
To submit a vinyl, you only have to click on the "plus" button displayed at all time on the home page. After clicking, you'll land on this page :
Here you will have to fill in the informations of the records you want to submit. We've even added a preview of the album cover you'll choose !
Note that only the description is optional. The rest of the infos are mandatory for obvious reasons.
From there, you only have to click on submit.
Right after you created your vinyl or when clicking on one from the home page, you will access its own page.
