Beatquest.fm - node.js music quiz
I'm happy to announce that I finished a small node.js experiment using socket.io and redis.
beatquest.fm is a small and simple music quiz which uses the itunes preview files. guess the artist / title and earn points for proving your music knowledge.
have fun playing the game. for song suggestions please use the chat, I will create a suggestion form later. :)

- daleharvey 15y agoThis is really well done, design is really nice, everything works pretty flawlessly for me, and its quite addictive As much node hate that is going around, stuff like this is exactly why it is getting hype, yes this was possible before node, but it was hard enough to not bother for fun experiments like this.

- CountHackulus 15y agoSince you're already using iTunes preview files, any chance you can make the songs in the list clickable to bring me to the iTunes store? Heard a few songs I want to buy.
- tibbon 15y agoWow, this is one of the most fun games I've seen in a while online. One I'm sending to my friends. Plus I'm discovering all sorts of new music that I like. As a small recommendation, monetize it by affiliate links to the iTunes Music Store. Ticketmaster too if you can. Is it possible for artists who are on iTunes to request to be added to the list?
- clux 15y agoReally well executed. Fun to play, works great, well done. A killer feature for an app like this comes to mind; genre/artist specific games : )
- johnvh 15y agoTotally wasted half my morning. Well done!
- danny3stacks 15y agoIt would be cool if as the time was ticking down you get little clues like, album name, year released, band starts with...
