This is great. It runs noticeably smoother than the SC main website. I could see myself using this when I'm listening to SC in the background while I am working.

Would be great if there was a basic way to see what percentage or time your in of the track, like (15:22 / 82:44), and it would be great if it could login to SC so that I could see my own feed of new content coming in.

Having said that, don't add too many features, because where this shines is not having so much bloat. I love SC and all their features, but when I am just working and listening to music I don't need fancy album art, comments, notifications or anything.

Really cool idea.

Thanks! I am thinking of working on putting a scrubber on the site. So you would like to log in and see your feed vs your favorites? Appreciate the feedback!

Yeah, or even before scrubber, just a way to tell how far through the track you are. But scrubber would work well too.

Logging in would be cool, or someway to see what would be in my feed. Often I start my day just playing my feed on SC to see all the new stuff coming in.

Likes are perfect, exactly as you have them.

I added the timer to the nav bar. I got what you are saying about the feed and I think that's totally doable. Just thinking about the best way to present that option design wise. Thanks again!
