Uses 50MB less memory as the sole tab in Firefox than iTunes does on my Mac. Easy decision to switch for normal playback purposes.
> Uses 50MB less memory as the sole tab in Firefox than iTunes does on my Mac. Well that's because iTunes also includes Calendar, and Mail, and Safari... ;) https://youtu.be/psL_5RIBqnY?t=6254
Interesting to see Apple starting to move into the web app product space (aside from iCloud, of course). Must say though that performance feels a bit sluggish (esp. hover states) on a Macbook Pro (tested in Firefox, Chrome and Safari).

seems they're using Ember.js . Reason I love spotify so much is that it's available on the web, no need to be downloading native apps everywhere. Always bet on the web. also good to see, another web property using Ember. As a react dev, competition is healthy

I suspect this might be a problem with your installation - if you create a new MacOS user account for testing, does the problem persist? I don't recall Messages every beach-balling for me and I'm not exactly on new hardware.
Tangentially, this appears to be the general (and usually, only) troubleshooting step you can do with Apple products. Yes, creating a new user resolves the problem. Yes, resetting my device to factory settings without restoring from backup resolves the problem. How do I resolve the problem without deleting my entire history?
If not, then you start poking about in Application Support for the app.

So if you have problem that goes away with another user, the problem commonly lies in a corrupted preference related to the app, so you start hunting out the .plists for the application and moving them to the desktop before relaunching and seeing if the problem is fixed. If not, then you start poking about in Application Support for the app.
The whole process took the better part of a day. It was long, it was tedious, but at least I got there in the end. There was no paid-support story that would have done this for me, but hey ho, it all worked out. I can't imagine I'll ever have the time to go through that much effort again.
The same cant be said for my iMessage history on my iPhone, which has been lost repeatedly as the only solution was "don't restore from your backup".
Says my Chrome and Firefox on Linux (ubuntu) not supported. :(

alive and well with huge strides in the framework, better than ever. that said ember gets much less press than it's peers, partly due to not being backed by a major fang corp and historical perception. https://blog.emberjs.com/2019/08/15/octane-release-plan.html
I only remember Ember because it was so much more popular at the time (2013? Early 2014?) than Backbone, which I had just completed an application using, and Angular, which was relatively new to the scene. Ember looked like it was the next big thing. And then, I guess, React came around and everybody was hot on the heels of the next big thing.
I heard, that things got a lot better over the years, but I never tried it again. However, I still admire the very clear architecture they had with ember-data as it was very useful (e.g. for testing) and eliminated a lot of uncertainty regarding the API design.

> Any reason to prefer Apple Music over Spotify? The ability to upload one's library [1] is huge — I believe both Spotify and Apple Music still aren't very good with video game music. [1] iCloud Music Library: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204926
If you have a big collection of obscure/foreign music (video game music is a great example), then nothing beats Apple Music + iCloud Music Library and iTunes match. You can use iTunes match to provide cloud-based high quality versions for music ripped from your CDs (or collected during your teenage Napster years). Even better, being able to mix content from your iCloud Music Library and streamable content from Apple…

This is why Little Snitch is fantastic.
Especially on the phone where most people use Spotify. Oh wait...
