Good job! I think it would suit being played on a big screen at events/cafés. Will new videos be played as they're posted, or will it continue moving back in history?

Edit: Answered my own question I think, it just returned to play a video from a few minutes ago.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah, there isn't, but that's a good idea. Is there a playlist in particular you wanted a link to, I can pull it up for you.

The chillout one is excellent. Not sure how much revenue opportunity there is, but redesigning that sound player and curating the music with affiliate links might cover some of the hosting bill. Out of curiosity, can you speak to your hosting situation and costs as related to getting hit with this news? I'm a novice coder, but I'm trying to learn about the sysadmin side of things too and wondering how one might take…

I was also curious to find the chill out set so I looked in the source of app.js to find the playlist id and fetch the response:

`curl http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/9875415.json?client_id=0...

Why was the title changed? It's not about the Instagram videos only. That would be a useless service. It's about the whole concept, which the old title much better represented.

Huh. Disappointed they changed it, would have thought I have the right to describe my own site! Oh well.

Really excited to share a personal project I've been working on here. If you check it out, I'd love to know what you think. Enjoy a peek into the lives of others, from locations around the world. Hyperlax is meant to be a bit of an escape, a bit voyueristic, a bit relaxing. I think it's mesmerising. Maybe you will too!

Like it! Though personally i would probably not have used A tag in the navigation, so you don't get the Dashed outline if you click them, since its not a new page that loads, but otherwise I really like it. Bookmarked :) EDIT: actually the A tags could just get the css rule (Outline: none;)

Please don't use outline:none unless you are prepared to create your own custom outline.

Nice project! Was actually hoping for something a little different; I've thought about having 4k streams with (local) ambient audio from around the world for use as virtual "windows". Just hang a 4k tv on a wall, and play a location/timezone that suits your mood... (Perhaps with a 24h buffer, so that one could match relative sun height/light to local time if one wants to...). Would be interesting to see an accompanyi…

You and I are on the same page, I love your idea too. This is my very first project, I'm entirely new to coding, but hopefully eventually I can extend Hyperlax to what you're talking about. Appreciate you checking it out!

Nice job! I just created a video review of your project and the one you were inspired by, here. It was a great first project for me to review for the very first episode of my new site. Thanks!
