Hey @johndundas.bsky.social good news! I just added support so that there's a manual onboarding flow as well.

No need to use Spotify link in any way!

Hi @volkermilch.bsky.social! You can find the onboarding form here: www.rolltherecord.com/for-artists

It’s also right on the landing page - you just drop in your Spotify link.

Appreciate the (indirect) feedback. It's not clear enough that you can simply paste your Spotify link

Ideally a link to your Spotify profile and the picture you'd like on the website.

If you don’t have a Spotify link, feel free to share a link to another music service - happy to find a workaround.

If that’s not an option, just DM me how you share your music today, and we’ll go from there. Cheers
