IMO there's no shame in working on your own derivation of an existing idea (take FB as one example). Sometimes a tweak here or there can be the difference between a good idea and game-changing one. Also it gives you the chance to 'edit' an existing product which is both a fun and thought provoking experience that can really hone your skills.
- colecut 9y agothis looks awesome!
- jqbx_jason 9y agothanks- appreciate it! Hopefully I'll see you on there ;)
- colecut 9y agoI just signed in and sync with spotify I'm about 50/50 soundcloud / spotify Are you planning on adding soundcloud integration? Given the recent soundcloud layoffs and financial trouble I would understand if you were hesitant about putting in that time
- jqbx_jason 9y agoYeah you hit the nail on the head. I'm nervous about the time investment given their current status. Maybe once chance's check clears...[1] [1] https://www.cnet.com/news/chance-the-rapper-soundcloud/ https://www.cnet.com/news/chance-the-rapper-soundcloud/
- BlackjackCF 9y agoCouldn't properly log in via Spotify :(
- jqbx_jason 9y agoYou need to have a premium account- was that the issue or is it something else I should look into? You can also try the 'click here to retry' button which should do the trick if you do in fact have Spotify premium.
- BlackjackCF 9y agoNope. I have a premium account. I retried multiple times as well :\
- jqbx_jason 9y agoSorry to hear that! I'll look into it and hopefully get it resolved asap
- kzisme 9y agoHey! Nice job I really like the idea and how it works. One thing I have noticed that sort-of breaks the experience for me is that every song change, room change, or anything else that stops music automatically changes my current device on spotify to the incorrect device. So constantly change it back to my work computer rather than my home computer it a huge pain currently.
- jqbx_jason 9y agoAre you changing it via Spotify or via the app? If you do it through the app it should save a cookie and stick with the device you selected from that point forward (the way to change devices is by clicking on the 'desktop' icon on the top right of the header next to your username). If that doesn't do the trick- let me know so I can look into it more. Thanks!
- kzisme 9y agoI was changing rooms via the app, and just sitting and letting the songs play while in a room, and the only way to hear them would be to manually change it on my Spotify app.
