This is amazing feedback. Thank you. 1. There are various images on the homepage that show the "listener" UI. Is that not coming across? 2. On the "pro" tier you can offer the tracks for download, but not for sale. This

Thanks for the feedback! You're right in that this isn't meant to be used in the same way as soundcloud. Soubdcloud is about discovery whereas my app songbox is about sharing privately. Most of the music shared in SongBox is pre-r

Thanks for this. I think that ad blocker thing is because I have the word "track" in the URL

Thanks for this. Yeah I agree. When I interview for a position I am interviewing them as much as they are interviewing me. Everyone should think like this.

I'm going to work on an about page. This is great feedback. Thanks. Can I ask... does the "why I built SongBox" page not serve this purpose?

Amazing feedback. Thank you. As I'm saying now to most of the commenters, it is going to take me days to process all of this. I cannot believe the traction this thread has had. I'm overwhelmed lol.

This is all excellent feedback. I actually cannot believe how much interest this thread has gotten today. It's going to take me a while to categorise and document all the feedback and ideas... but I will!

So I'm not wanting to get into what appears to be a growing argument. But I have a young family and an intense day job. I still managed to build SongBox. I just love building things. I don't do social media, don't watch shitt

I appreciate that feedback however I would say 'each to their own'. I'm pretty sure the majority of businesses don't have people's faces on display and info about their personal life. HOWEVER... I take it onboard. W

Great feedback 1. Yeah I'm gonna re-think the whole sample player thing. That's not a representation of what the pages look like, that's an embed. And I think I'm gonna kill embeds 2. 100%!! I toiled for days over "

This is a great idea and I already have schools as paying customers. Right now their use cases involve sending audio recordings (eg from music class) to parents, privately. Will look into this for sure. Thanks so much.

There's a lot on this comment and I appreciate it all. One thing I'll pick up on now before looping back later is the ability to RECEIVE tracks via songbox. This is actually a feature I only rolled out last week. EG I could give y

Oh in that case I'm not sure, but I would always be clear with the employer at the interview stage. In my current role I mentioned that I work on things on the side and they were like... oh that's not allowed, and I said... oh wel

Yeah that's the embed. The players on the actual songbox pages themselves are nicer. I may pull the embed functionality as I don't think it's used much. Maybe when songbox scales it will be useful but right now the main use o
