Hi!
This is a weekend project kind of application. The goal was to combine HTML5 audio and Soundcloud's streaming capabilities. Vinepeek is obviously an influence, and that's why I wanted to add a picture of the user to give an idea who is behind each sound.
Since the stream is in MP3 format, only Firefox 21+ supports it. Otherwise the app should work on modern browsers. The whole app is written in Javascript.
I have some ideas how to develop the app further:
- Now the sounds are between 3 and 6 seconds long. User could choose the timeframe. User could even choose some more specific filters so the app would allow searching for one minute long punk songs, for example.
- I left basic controls out intentionally to have a very clean UI and simple user experience. Volume control could be useful.
