I haven't checked Soundnode App yet, but any attempt to sanitize the way you interact with SoundCloud should be appreciated, because SC web UX is bad.
Soundnode App UI looks nice. I'd add screenshot for each main view on app's home page, even if they're all similar, though. UX remains to be tested.
The only (apparent?) downside is that this app seems to be a bundled web app with web browser. I'm not that fond of such solutions. But. If it wasn't open source and GitHub page wasn't shown there, then there is a high chance I would not notice that it's built like that, at least from screenshot alone.
Writing SoundCloud client is on my ToDo list, as it would be a good way to brush up and enhance my Qt skills. Maybe I'd finally embrace QML along the way, as I'm postponing QML tinkering for far too long I guess. I'm also considering fiddling with PyQt5, as it could possibly quicken prototyping, but I'm not sure about it in my case, as I have only minor Python experience and no PyQt experience at all (well, it's like incentive to change that). There is also SoundCloud python package, so going python way is quite tempting, but I always prefer native compiled apps over scripted ones.
