    I built https://www.JQBX.fm for this purpose. Not an exact clone but it’s my take on the “social listening” problem.

    It's not necessarily that the ads aren't effective but their reporting of ROI has been off in my experiences. I've been running attribution surveys on the e-commerce sites I own [1…

    On site surveys have been effective for us[1]. Ultimately this is a super general question and it depends on: 1. What data you want to collect 2. Where you place your poll (if it's…

    That sounds awesome! If you're interested it would be cool if you put on an event for us all on JQBX [1] one day :) shoot me an email if you want and I can set it up. https://www.j…

    "Winter Dreams" by Fitzgerald is pretty great. It changed my perspective on wealth and has in general stuck with me for a long time: https://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl494/winte…

    I built JQBX ( https://www.jqbx.fm ) so I think about streaming, money, and the law a lot. The industry is very focused on siphoning off as much cash from the musician as possible.…

    An anecdote: My father broke his collarbone (in a real bike) and I got him a peloton to be a safer replacement. After about an hour of introduction to the product he now uses it ev…

    With a large enough differential between customer #1 and customer #2 it becomes a lot of cash to leave on the table if you don't renegotiate. But I don't know the numbers and you'r…

    Okay sure the full picture isn't all sunshine (I didn't say I'd buy the stock) but it's not bad news either. With the lions share of the streaming market and low churn rate I would…

    This is great news IMO. Spotify's platform is leagues better than apple music. Also I know they don't have the best track record w/ third party apps but Spotify also offers the mos…

    Same preface (not exactly popular...yet) but the JQBX mobile apps: https://www.jqbx.fm are built with RN. The only "native" parts are a bridge for playing audio but I'm not sure if…

    Using your product daily is essential not only to help steer the ship on what to build but also to cue you in on what's buggy / inefficient. I have the good fortune of having a liv…

    Yeah they don't have a Web API. They have a mobile SDK though so it would be possible for the iOS app (not sure about android) only at the moment.

    I want to do it but it's tricky since I would need 1. some sort of universal identifier for each track so I can keep everyone in sync 2. API access to search, play, pause and seek.…

    Thanks, I'm glad you're liking it the way it is now! I totally agree that the colors are in a slightly awkward place. The design sort of grew from where I originally started and no…

    Hey- it still works the same way w/ multiple DJ's. I thought about adding another 'mode' for a single queue (similar to how soundbounce used to work) but it's put on hold for now w…

    Ah I think I see what you mean now- like a suggested activity window for each room. Cool idea, I'll add it to the roadmap. Thanks again :)

    Thanks! You actually can do that already- I think I just need to make it more obvious. If you're an admin of a room you can 'broadcast' a message to all the people who have saved y…

    I think you'll like JQBX then! Re. YT & Soundcloud: I'm exploring it. My goal was to get everything feature complete w/ just Spotify to keep things focused. But once all the kinks …
