Great Stack! Your UI is nice, clean, and awesome! I like your account sign up pop up and proposed keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks ! Glad you like it. :)

Just a black screen with a black cloud for me.. Am I supposed to click something?

Possibly like me you have plugins disabled - it looks like it doesn't start until you enable Flash.

Same problem here. When I read in the comments that it used YouTube, I expected it to support YouTube's HTML5 player.

Great job! Seen tons of similar services, but this is really polished. I already signed up, but was looking for a way to create my own playlists. I'd use this all the time if it had custom playlists

Thanks ! Many people ask me to add playlist support, so I will try to add it in a future update. :)

I don't say this lightly, but this is fucking awesome!! Wondering how hard it would be to implement a function that would search for all the variations of a particular song. Lets say I want to see all the remix versions of Lykke Li - Little Bit, as an example...

Thanks ! How do you see this "remix function" ? Directly in the search bar ? In the playlist ?

Fantastic - I mainly use YouTube for music and this is way, way better than the standard YT interface in almost every possible respect.

Cavils: I would like to sign in with my Google account (because it's important for me to know that the NSA understands my taste in music), and I can't find a way to search on the channels of YouTube users who have especially good music collections - ie I search by a channel name I know and like, but get nothing or the wrong stuff.

Edit: BTW, I'm also not sure about clicking in the video causing it to pause, but I can see how some people would like that.

Someone showed a similar service a few months back: youfm.org But great job on the front end development. The UI is slick.

Thanks :) ! If you search for a specific channel, you get nothing or wrong stuff ? Hum... It seems that it's a bug. I will inspect this. Thanks for the report.

I looked into doing a similar project, but just FYI you might want to take a read through youtube's TOS: http://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms Particularly section 4, General Use of the Service—Permissions and Restrictions. What you've got is way cool though.

maybe he could sell it to websites that wants to show their youtube channel in a cool way, vevo has somehting similar www.vevo.com

Oh, also you might want to cross-reference search results with Youtube. For example, I like a technoa rtist called Orion, so I search for a favorite track using 'orion cynabs'. But I also get a lot of results to do with Orion rockets and some pop music kid who uses the same stage name. YouTube is better at presenting recommendations from the same artist rather than just going by name.
