Seems to be happening more and more often with people.

I spent the last few months learning how to code and making weatherTunes. Its an app that takes your surrounding weather conditions and makes a playlist that fits the current mood created by the weather. Check it out, and if your up to it, would love to get feedback!

I'm sorry but I have to mention it.

The scroll jacking on your webpage is only slightly less annoying than most.

Cool app!

Thank you! I hate scroll jacking too. It wasn't doing it in safari and I should have checked her browsers. I removed the js that was doing that, should be normal now. Thanks for pointing it out!

Agreed. It's actually very difficult for me to scroll to a spot where I can actually read the text because it's jumpy.

App looks very cool, how did you learn how to code?

[aamana]

Thank you very much. I put a lot of time into it.

I basically just started reading tutorials I found online. I would decide what I want the app to do and look for tutorials or examples from github that do what I was looking for and either walk through the tutorial, or try and reverse engineer the examples I found. I'm not sure that was the most efficient way to do it, I def went down some wrong paths and took me a bit longer than I had anticipated because of it.

Living in Upstate New York, this app is sure to make me incredibly depressed.

Sarcasm aside, what's to prevent a resident of, say, California from hearing the same stuff every single day?

Honestly this does look really cool. Will definitely look into it.

Well, I'm using a service that lets you create individualized 'stations' that persist. Every time you listen to a song, it is registered and theoretically it should not play the same songs for a while at least. I also have some randomness in the api call every time a new playlist is set up to try and prevent repeats happening. Having said that...its a work in progress, I sometimes do get repeats, but am working to get better results.
