My story: I was tracking my expenses in a spreadsheet. But it was starting to get really annoying having to keep receipts (I ended up losing most of them) and remembering to open the spreadsheet every time I had a new expense.

Hey. Just a suggestion: would be nice to have a feeling of the app before signing in ;)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely get that done :)

1. Write down the apps on your phone or computer that you use the most. If you want to bootstrap a profitable business, I recommend listing the apps you use for work. 2. Write down the one feature for each app that you use the most within that app. 3. Write down what slightly annoys you about that one feature 4.

Actually, I think your response is really pathetic. Not everybody is good at writing, and for many, English isn't their first language. If you don't like his question, don't answer, but finger-wagging over commas and punctuation makes you look bad.

English is OPs first language, based on his profile. I don't think it's too much to ask to just proofread before you submit. That's an important life lesson as well.

It doesn't mean pedantic finger-wagging is an appropriate response to the question. You corrected him because you feel superior. You aren't.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but there are some options for in-office jukebox.

There's a lot of casting software where people can consume a stream (Icecast) and there are options for generating that stream (Liquidsoap is a DSL for just that).

Tools like airsonic have a jukebox mode: https://airsonic.github.io/docs/jukebox/

I found all of these while trying to find a way to eliminate my reliance on cloud music players because the apps almost always end up being trash.
