lol, cute. Something similar happened to MyEtherWallet splintering to MyCrypto. I recently had some telegram moderators split up and argue about which one of them I should be paying. I don't care who babysits my channels lol. I guess the hilarious thing is that nobody really cares. Just figure it out.

  Turntable.fm is the original founder who hired the entire team, got investors, built out the office space, etc. etc. It's literally the same code from the old site revived. Turntable.org/"TT.FM" is an ex-employee who left before TT even got its moment in the sun, trying to recreate the experience from scratch to take advantage of a lapsed trademark & profit from peoples' nostalgia. I don't want it to be about the drama, I'd rather just celebrate the return of the real thing - Turntable.fm - and it's cool to see them taking the "high road" response of relaunching and being better than the knockoff rather than suing/leaking details to press/twitter cancellation/etc. But some people do care - and that's the truth of it.

    I would have assumed you're Joseph by the name and timing but judging by his... 'inflated' linkedin profile there's no way he'd talk ill of himself on HN. Just had a several-hour-long session with complete strangers in a turntable (classic) room and I'm happy to report the old vibe and communal feel is exactly the same as it was left. It was a real treat.

Pebbles [1] was a JavaScript library written by Joe Perla. It was the first time I’d seen a pjax like library and was as fascinated with it as I was turntable.fm. [1] https://github.com/jperla/pebbles https://github.com/jperla/pebbles
