So to boil down your comments into easy points:

  1. kill the first-load chrome download bar (I don't want it until I know I like the service) or make it non-blocking
  2. use something like pushState (or location hash) to have all URLs always be referencing something useful (like the current song)
  3. a canonical share source (solved by point 2) rather than *just* social-network buttons
  4. add a "recently listened" thing of some sort
A few other ideas:

  5. add a "listening with XXX others" count (specific to artist/track), for social proof of a different kind :)
  6. add an "up next" with the option to skip
  7. channel combinations (might be possible already? but the ability to listen to post-rock + ambient-electro would be cool, might confuse the UX)
  8. nicer design.. it's ok at the moment but definite room for improvement.
2 cents provided, back to work!


The same points, formatted so the text actually appears on the screen:

1. kill the first-load chrome download bar (I don't want it until I know I like the service) or make it non-blocking

2. use something like pushState (or location hash) to have all URLs always be referencing something useful (like the current song)

3. a canonical share source (solved by point 2) rather than just social-network buttons

4. add a "recently listened" thing of some sort

5. add a "listening with XXX others" count (specific to artist/track), for social proof of a different kind :)

6. add an "up next" with the option to skip

7. channel combinations (might be possible already? but the ability to listen to post-rock + ambient-electro would be cool, might confuse the UX)

8. nicer design.. it's ok at the moment but definite room for improvement.


I agree with all of these points, and would like there to be a replay button.


Great feedback, almost all of which is in the works.
