This thread is a great counterexample to the argument that HN always disses Show HNs. Constructive criticism: Overall, great work! A "new" way to listen to music on Youtube is not nearly descriptive enough. I don't want a new way to listen to music on Youtube, I want a better way. And much more importantly, how is it better? A landing page would do wonders for you. But again, awesome work!

A "new" way may well be a "better" way, you're picking at straw fella. What do you think Apple said when they introduced the iPhone. "This is a new phone experience." Likewise, "This is a new YouTube experience".

Is awesome, as everyone has said.

It's like minimal groove shark... Just a few minutes ago I was thinking of building something over groove shark to get a similar minimalistic interface, but TOSes would probably prevent that.

Well done on this project again though, very nice

Sadly, I seem to be unable to convince it to load entire albums, just individual songs. However, it does load unofficial videos, which is quite cool. I'm guessing that it runs a search without being logged in, and takes the first result which is shorter than 30min or so?

Thanks for the feedback ! Yes, you are right. I build blynde to specifically load track not full album. If I allow load entire albums, "artist panel", "your top" and so on became without interest, no ?

I honestly normally load up a bunch of full albums of progressive rock from the days of yesteryear and listen to two or three throughout the workday. It doesn't make sense to listen to just one song on those albums, and so I normally don't. I acknowledge that my music consumption habits are not normal, though. :3

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

Yes, of course, but money was definitely not my goal when I built this. :)

yes was just to reply to the commennt that you can't monetize :) impressive job btw, it looks so much better than the vevo one!

I don't see what you mean... If you search for an album, album tracks was loaded in playlist and displayed in artist panel, no ?
