Show HN: Launched my first app where people hum songs for others to guess

Seems like you'd build up a great dataset for training an automated hum -> song classifier if this gains traction.

I would greatly suggest letting the user try the app without making an account. I&#x27;m not sure if the app is something I like, so when the first screen I get is a login screen the odds are high that you&#x27;ll lose me.<p>Other games often have a guest account for this with some random name, which they can then upgrade to a real profile by signing up.

My feedback: you definitely need to add tags. Because I&#x27;m quite good at, say, classic or jazz, but I suck at other styles. And I don&#x27;t want to listen uselessly to 90% hummings from styles I don&#x27;t know before starting to become helpful... Excellent idea, though!

Cool idea, I used to play this when I was a child.<p>I&#x27;m unable to download it right now, but my initial concerns are:<p>- How do you stop people from cheating by singing the words, or otherwise just saying the name of the song? Or, depending on the scoring system, could you not just submit silence?<p>- How do you deal with people screaming profanity or disturbing audio clips?

For people that are interested in how I developed the app: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@razvanilin&#x2F;challenged-myself-to-build-and-launch-an-app-in-a-week-cc6b44731a49" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@razvanilin&#x2F;challenged-myself-to-build-an...</a>

It seems like a poor branding decision to name the app after the rather awkward domain name (&quot;Hummi.nz&quot;). As a mobile-first app, you aren&#x27;t constrained by domain names, so you have better options.

When I was studying jazz we’d play a game where somebody would improvise over the chord changes to a song and you’d have to guess what song it was. That could be an in app purchase for this.

Awesome, we all had this idea but here, as an app, it&#x27;s just great thoughts put in action ^^

This pretty awesome.<p>On an unrelated note: Even though I type the exact name of the app, it is hard to find it on Google play. I have to type almost all the name and description to find it. The play store is so saturated.

I suggest adding a Google login option as well since it&#x27;s an android app. I don&#x27;t have FB and don&#x27;t want to type email&#x2F;password.

Have you seen the married with children episode when Al is driven crazy by a song he can&#x27;t name and poorly hums it?<p>It&#x27;s uncomfortable for me to think how this is showing my age.

Excellent idea and implementation, not so god naming. Might I suggest a name (.com not taken)?

Interesting idea.<p>Only if youtube add the feature of getting a humming as input and show the video of that thing.

Cool idea! First step to service that searches track names by humming, right? :)

Ah yes! It&#x27;s like shazam for a song you can&#x27;t get out of your head!

What do you do if a user slightly mistypes the correct song title?
