    This looks to be damn cool. Looking at the docs[1][2] it's now possible to create a Spotify remote control (e.g. control PC from a phone) using the native client. Thinking about it…

    After seeing the demo I thought this was being done in canvas, but no, it's actually using css transforms applied to DOM elements. SVG is far more suited to this task. Also despite…
