It should work on mobile devices, although a few tweaks in the CSS is needed to make the UI adapt properly. I'll make those in the coming weeks. If I find people using the site regularly, I'll create a mobile app for it.

I don't. I simply play the first result that youtube returns. For more obscure artists/songs or for those with generic names, YouFM might play the wrong video if Youtube returns the wrong result. I'm not sure if there's any way to fix it ex

Good suggestions, I'll definitely make these improvements. I also need to make some improvements to the UI (didn't get a chance to test it properly outside chrome on osx, seems to have a lot of annoyances on other browsers and platforms) Ct

That error comes up randomly (internal server error). Not sure why it happens or how to prevent it. I ran a search for "Moonlight Sonata" and got results just fine: http://www.youfm.org/#/search/Moonlight Sonata

The interface is better for listening to music (I hope). Also, the search is run on Spotify so you only get music results.

No reason for it to be shutdown. All music videos are from Youtube (provided legally by the original artists, their labels or Vevo) and I followed Youtube's requirement of not hiding the video player when playing songs (which a lot of simil

basically the app takes your search query and uses the spotify api to find results (or itunes for the top 100 and new releases). Then when you double click a song it searches youtube for with the query "song name - artist name" and plays th

That's a very narrow minded way to look at it. It's difficult to comprehend what he was going through to take such a drastic step. I understand that he was facing a unreasonably long prison sentence for downloading academic papers. As someo

I'm sure the black bar isn't there because PG happens to be asleep. Its unfortunate that he'll wake up to such bad news.

There are thousands upon thousands of websites and web apps designed by people from the US, or any other country for that matter, that have horrible design, usability, and buggy code. Poor usability is unfortunately the norm, not the except

Qyuki is hindi for "because" (usually spelled Kyunki and pronounced "Q"-"key"). The site is obviously a pinterest clone for India. However, I don't think the startup aspires to be anything more than that. There are lots of clone startups i

This is something that I've toyed with. I wanted to offer a service to build an MVP for as low as $999. Living in a third-world country where a lot for very talented developer work for a lot less is an advantage that I had. On my first try,

Since you're just starting out, most of the projects you'll get will be no-name clients who are looking for someone who will work for cheap. The sites you design may not even make it past the design stage and most won't be around in a few m

Really? $6k per year in the UK seems a bit too low. Thats what a junior programmer in Bangladesh (where I live) makes. I always assumed that salaries for programmers (even without any academic degrees) would be much higher in first-world na

I'm looking for a good API to use that provides enough metadata. Spotify is probably a good choice. I'll add the sorting.
