> But pick 5 or 10 existing ones that look promising. Try them all. What's good about each one? What sucks? I'm kind of divided with myself on this one. I did compare some when I first started (there weren't very many of them around), and it was kind of obvious what decisions (mainly pertaining to the protocol itself) I didn't want to replicate. One of the reasons I started my own project was that I couldn't find something to be happy with. And I still can't, but admittedly I'm not looking that hard anymore. The reason I'm reluctant to just go ahead and gather all the stuff I like from other projects is that contamination is a real problem. Especially in a space that, in my opinion, hasn't been solved yet. > For now the Forever Project is on hold so I can build a music player. Looking forward to your Show HN :)
