Thanks! Your jukebox prototype looks cool as well. I like the idea of playing songs over users's Spotify instead, will explore that idea, thanks!

I think you're right re: Spotify's built-in song discovery. Brew.fm's concept as is now would be easy to copy for Spotify, they'd be crazy not to if enough people seem to find value, and I'd love it if they do.

A way to properly differentiate would probably be by serving a (slightly) different audience. I can imagine Brew.fm is a little overkill for the average Spotify user, who'd rather hit play and lean back. It'd be cool if there's room for Brew.fm long term by serving the more hardcore music fan, who's more than happy to put extra work in, in exchange to feel on top of new music, and closer to the artists.

It has some rough edges, but I'm still pretty proud of it. The first time it just worked, and people were all adding songs to the playlist at once was magical.

I could totally see Brew.fm working for hardcore discovery. People who are in the music industry or are really serious about finding new stuff. Choose who to follow, see who's released what every day. The really amazing thing would be being able to see what's new + popular, hot releases by unknown artists. Unfortunately I don't think that info is available through their API.

Are you hiring at Welcome?
