Spotify won the same way Dropbox and Slack did. They didn't invent anything magical, they just had a client for every platform that worked when people tried it.

Spotify won the same way Dropbox and Slack did. They didn't invent anything magical, they just had a client for every platform that worked when people tried it. Like web apps? Here you go. Linux nerd? Here is a deb repo. Have a smartphone? Cool, we don't care what kind.
Even now I googled "Pandora windows app", clicked a few times, and ended up on some Microsoft Store page. Interestingly enough if I add "mac" to my search terms I just get a download...
- Alupis 6y agoWhat's wrong with Pandora in the web browser?
- DrSiemer 6y agoThe browsers RAM usage and the challenge of finding it among the often many tabs and windows come to mind.
- Alupis 6y agoEh, does the RAM usage of a single browser window even matter on modern systems? Anecdata, but I open Pandora in it's own window, then minimize it. This makes it pretty easy to find if you have a hundred+ tabs open at once like I often find myself with. I currently have 44 tabs open, including Pandora in it's own window, and Chrome is only using ~2GB of RAM - perfectly acceptable to me.
- mike_d 6y agoThat is like asking "What is wrong with driving across town to pick up your Amazon purchases?" If you are in a highly competitive space that is effectively winner take all - you go where your customers want to be, not where your developers think they should be.
- iamcreasy 6y agoI prefer Pandora tab on my browser.
- gfxgirl 6y agoNothing is wrong with Pandora in the web browser, other people just like to install spyware and root kits so let them.
- Yizahi 6y agoIf it's like YTM in browser then no control with keyboard keys.
- bosie 6y agoCan you control pandora in the web browser with your keyboard? can you jump to pandora in the web browser with a single keyboard shortcut?
