Follow control — The Lineup app

Follow is the whole app, made into one button

Following is how you tell the app what you love — and it’s the single opt-in that turns notifications on. So the control can’t be a quiet bookmark in the corner. On a band page it’s first-class: bands are champions with free premium profiles, and following one is meant to feel like backing them. Three states, one accent action, the bell that makes the promise visible.

What to look at

One control, but it’s carrying the app’s whole promise — so it earns the accent.

1First-class, not a bookmark

On a band page Follow is the primary accent action, full-width — same visual weight the website gives its main CTA. Following a band should feel like backing it. (On an event you get “Save / remind me”; on a band, you Follow — different verbs, different jobs.)

2The bell is the promise, made visible

In the Following state the bell rides alongside — it’s the one-glance signal that “alerts are on for this.” Tap it to mute this band without unfollowing (per-entity mute lives on the Alert prefs screen). Follow ≠ noise; you stay in control.

3Following changes the page, quietly

Once you follow, the upcoming shows pick up the bell marker — the page now reflects that these are your alerts. Pull-not-push: nothing shouts, the state just settles.

4The follower count is the champion signal

“1,240 people follow Mt. Joy here” does double duty: social proof for the fan, and the exact number Sales shows a venue/act — “here’s what reaching your followers costs.” The thing the consumer loves is the thing the business pays for. Same feature.

5First follow triggers the ask

The very first time anyone taps Follow, the push-permission moment fires — see First-follow ask. Never in onboarding, always here, where the payoff is obvious.

The control, in three states

Every place a follow can appear — band page, venue page, a row in a list — uses one of these. The compact pill is the same logic at list scale.
