Would you mind sharing your side project? That's awesome.

Great idea! Do you plan to make it paid at some point - referring to the Sign up and try for free note?

The biggest issue I have with bookmarking (apart from a better interface - which your app addresses) is link rot. I think adding a permalink (maybe by default?) would take this to the next level. Perma.cc has a nice API last time I checked :)

Thank you for checking it out!

Not in particular apart from the fact that my first web development project ever which I put out last December was done in Meteor: http://mixtape.meteor.com. It was a collaborative YouTube playlist app.

Since then I've worked with other more mature MVC frameworks, but I find that I'm still able to produce my weekend projects a lot faster using Meteor. I also like the free hosting (and easy deployment) on a .meteor domain it offers.

Yes! I do want to keep working on this. I would like to build a small user base and get input on what could feature should be worked on next.

I have in mind user generated and share-able lists, and trending albums is also a very reasonable possibility. Also, the searches do not offer too many input parameters to the search so that is something I would like to fix.

Since you've posted that, I've changed how the search is done and it should be a lot more responsive now. I have access to Pitchfork's autocomplete API so I could use that to work around the problem possibly. Do you have any ideas about this?

Thank you for the thoughtful input.

This is sick. I haven't looked into other website localizing solutions, but how is this approach better than what's currently being used in industry?

Been working on my first Rails app for a few http://sixtasks.heroku.com because I think the idea of a to-do list is powerful, but the concept needs refining.

Also, I wanted to be able to track my productivity in a tangible way, and Six Tasks helps me do that: http://i.imgur.com/5bbLxJo.png

Trying to add features like smarter task recording, and maybe tagging list items, idk I'm just making it up as I go along

andrewlouis93··on Show HN: mixtape. An unintrusive collaborative playlist webapp
Author here! I listen to a lot of music on YouTube, and found the native YouTube playlists next to useless, so I wound up making this clean and collaborative playlist webapp to solve this problem, and of course to get my hands dirty with Meteor!
