#3Juicebox is a great way to share your music with others. You can create rooms, add songs, and share the URL with others, and they will be synced to the same song as you when they join. It's built on React, Node.js, and Firebase. I've been working on this for fun for the past few months, and I'm hoping to hear some feedback from the HN community.
Thanks for checking it out!

#4What separates this from other turntable.fm clones?
One difference is that Juicebox is still alive :P
Kidding aside, one feature I really like about Juicebox is that it will play songs that have been previously added to the queue. One problem I had with turntable.fm and plug.dj was that it required a lot of energy to keep the music going (you have to continually keep adding songs to the queue). On Juicebox, I can just join my room and I can enjoy music without too much hassle.

#5When I clicked on the link, it brought up a page that was already playing a song. I tried to pause it and couldn't. I had to look for the volume control instead?
Why can't I pause the song?

It even shows the YouTube pause icon thing when I click on it. This is really frustrating.

On plug.dj, this isn't true. Playlists that are in the queue will repeat after all the songs from that list have been played once.

You're not supposed to be able to pause. But this is a UI flaw. Sorry about that -- I've disabled interactions on the player so it's more clear.

#9This is perfect for parties so people can add tracks but won't skip the songs that have already been added

Oh. Hmm. On other sites like plug.dj you can pause and when you unpause it just catches you back up!
