I made this small app last Saturday solely because I wanted to. Any feedback is welcome.

Oh, and the source code is open: https://github.com/karan/scInstant

EDIT: Right now, it's meant to be used only on desktop. I'm starting to get into frontend stuff, so don't really know how to touch optimize the app. Again, suggestions welcome.

It's loading very fast! Cool project. An "add to playlist" button would be cool I think (unless I'm not seeing it).

I'm not sure if this is your type of thing but if you are looking for more ideas I was very impressed by the juketube angular/polymer demos[0]. It'd be very cool to see those projects ported to soundcloud instead of YouTube.

It only allows me to search once, if I try to search for something else, I have to refresh.

This is great. It would be nice to see the next couple of songs that are going to play and maybe a delete button next to them. A Youtube version would also be useful.

That should be fixed now.

I thought about showing next songs, but I want to keep the UI minimal, and not showing the app keeps a bit of surprise factor in there.

That would need soundcloud auth. I wanted to make a dead simple, click/type and be done app. Thanks though! :)

I like the idea but search on YouTube seems to be so inaccurate I'm not sure if it would work nearly as well.

I'm having trouble thinking of how to improve scInstant as it is--it's so pared down and fast and just works! Great job!
