I'd check it out as I listen to beats all day, but I refuse to give any site my Twitter/Facebook details. Also, you broke the back button.

Anything I can do to convince you we're not using your data wrongly?

Have some sort of alternative sign-up that doesn't require a pre-existing social network account?

Ping me off HN so we can talk more about this, would love to get more feedback on finding amazing music off the beaten path. 01@helloworld.im or the email in my HN profile.

Slightly related, the genre list page was also terribly laggy to scroll for me. And this is on Chrome on a new series iMac.

We debugged it FOR AN HOUR today, not sure if it's the JS or CSS. + Respect for anyone that figures out why it's lagging.

It's the background. In Chrome or Safari, open up the inspector and disable it. Smooth as ever.

Specifically, it's the `background-attachment: fixed` that's killing performance here.

Nice, but having such rigidly defined genres means you're going to miss out on the best of electronic music today, which is increasingly abandoning the genre classifications which have straightjacketed the music in the past. For example, where on earth does this fit? http://soundcloud.com/bleeky/r-s-d or this? http://soundcloud.com/raffertie/ergo-we-are-human-1 Sure, you can shoehorn them into house or techno, but th…

I'm sure you aren't.

I just don't want to connect sites together. Would much rather create a separate account at each website like the good old days. Puzzles me why new sites are cannibalizing their potential like this because I can't be alone in this thinking.

This is a huge unexpected request, we'll definitely look more into it. Happy to talk more, just email us 01@helloworld.im

I don't have a twitter account, so I can't even look around the site or find out more about it. EDIT: Not so much of a jab, rather just to let you know you've maybe lost a customer or two because its not worth the payoff for me to get an account to just look at your site (I don't know if its a site ill like enough to justify that effort!)

It's worth turning off quite a few people for our chat to use twitter handles. The conversation is quite different thanks to a bit of transparency.

Why do you need access to DM's?
