Ease of recording has made remote bands and collaborations very common, you can trade stems with people anywhere and make music.
This would be a million times more useful without the geographical restriction, although I concede if the true intent is to make in person bands then sure, it's useful. Just consider the wider market.
A lot of people have mentioned this, so I'll add the toggle to disable "local artists only" to the top of my TODO. Though I suppose genre filtering would need to be built first, or it would be obnoxious.
Genre is probably a prerequisite, yeah. I wouldn’t want to use something that basically firehosed every metal guitarist on earth into my feed when I’m looking for someone who’s into post-rock (or whatever)
