This musicleague website is probably the worst landing page I've ever seen. What the heck is it? And why should I log in? What company is behind it? What has it to do with Spotify? What's their target audience? Did they intentionally remove all information on that page? Is it an app for a smart phone? Or maybe I'm just too old..

I agree. No idea what this is or how it benefits me at all, so of course I did not connect my account. From Google for the curious: "Music League is a weekly game which lets you share songs with friends and score points for whoever’s track slaps the most. Each week you’re given a theme, eg. “a song that gets you on the dancefloor”, “a song you’ve loved from this year”, and you have a week to make your submission. The tracks are then all automatically added to an anonymous Spotify playlist which you and your league listen to, before voting for which track you like the best. You have 10 points to dish out and – for the wannabe music critics among you – comments to leave on each song. When you reach the deadline, the points are tallied and a winner declared." Not really interested.

  Sounds fun to me. At my old work, we used to have "song of the week" contest every Friday, where everyone would post the most ridiculous, over the top, goofy videos of actual songs (think Top of the Pops pisstakes, overly earnest power ballads, hair metal, bad 90s fashions, etc) and everyone would vote for their favorite. There were some pretty amazing selections. I do agree that their landing page is pretty lacking.

Creator here! I’ve heard this feedback a few times recently, and a couple of people here even reached out! A proper landing page is definitely at the top of my To Do list. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts here! It’s only a web app today, but a mobile app is in the works as I have time outside of the day job. The site has never been marketed, and there’s never been a company behind it - just me. I’m in the awkward phase of taking something I built on the weekend for close friends who all knew exactly what it was/how it worked and evolving it to support all of the people who have stumbled across it. Super excited to keep improving it!
