Love it. Clean and simple as the original.
It takes me back to when I had mine!

#82Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but how can one be sure that this doesn't steal my credentials when logging in with spotify? It's open source, so I guess someone would probably have figured it out if it did by now, but is there a way to be sure or is it even possible?
Not a dumb question, very much appreciate you keeping an eye out for your password security. It uses an OAuth flow so you're actually entering your credentials on accounts.spotify.com (Spotify-owned) and then Spotify gives this developer a token (rather than a username+password) to access your data (usually a very limited subset of data outlined on the login page).

#84Curious if Apple would even allow this as an app on their store?

any idea why it uses ngrok when I go to the sign in flow? Chrome is saying the connection is insecure.

#87I would like to complain about the game of Brick that refuses to award me a victory despite clearing away all the bricks.
Can I get my money back please?

#88Earlier quoted context omitted.
I still have my original iPods. The original and the mini chromatic ones. When I'm on the go and or in a gym and I need to play music, nothing beats a simple mp3 player. Don't want the bulk of the phone. Don't want to have to touch a phone screen and engage with it. I'd rather just reach into my pocket and press buttons.
I think smartwatches fill that niche now - at least those models with physical buttons. I'm actually impressed by how ergonomic the music listening experience on my Garmin is.
Right, wearing an Apple Watch + AirPods is the modern iPod experience to me. I can leave my house without a smartphone and take a stroll or bike ride or skateboard etc with music. The Apple Watch crown provides that tactile feel missing from smartphones. I like how easy it is to turn up the volume by quickly rotating the crown up or down.

#89This is really cool. It’s amazing how “realistic” the clickwheel feels—it instantly transported me back to actually using an iPod. Also, there’s something poetic about emulating the clickwheel on the interface that replaced it :)
+1 Would be super cool if this integrated with the Battery Status API for even more realism!
Looks like the spec is getting updated with more modern security and privacy practices.

#90How do you even get the _feel_ of the device so right? I'm perplexed, such a great project. I started using it unironically to play music, I'd totally pay for a Mac/iOS app haha.
I would pay for the app just to get the haptic feedback!
iirc there was an iPod-style app on the Apple App Store for a bit around a year ago, but it was shortly after taken down. I don’t know if the developer came out with an official statement, but I imagine Apple had some copyright grievances.
It did have haptic feedback on the wheel which was cool, although I think this web implementation actually does a better job of nailing the motion and feel of the click wheel itself.
