Hey everyone,<p>I'm a young developer with a penchant for music and quality software. I have spent the last 16 months developing an open-source Google Chrome extension which attempts to simplify the experience of using YouTube to play music.<p>Streamus: http://streamus.com/<p>Streamus currently has 14,000 users and is the #1 trending / #4 ranked 'fun' extension in the web store. I've built it entirely from scratch while teaching myself the basics of BackboneJS (and Backbone.Marionette), RequireJS, GruntJS and many other, smaller libraries. It has been a great learning experience.<p>I would love to field any questions about the product, challenges encountered while creating it, etc. Really anything you'd like to know -- I'm all ears and super excited to discuss it.<p>Here's all the source code if that's your thing:<p><pre><code> https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension

Awesome extension - It would be nice if I could add a youtube mix. For example if I go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc</a> I see a mix starting from this song. I'd like to play that mix. I don't know if there's a way to do that.<p>Great job.
Can you advise me on how to proceed using the stuff I learn?<p>How did you learn these stuff and used it to make a product ?<p>How to practise the programming stuff one learns?for eg I am currently learning javascript and jquery library,Can you suggest on how I may improve my skills?
MeoMix - this is an awesome app. You said you taught yourself the libraries. I have an engineering background, and a little bit of programming (VB) - how long will it take to learn to code a chrome extension and any recommendations on websites to help with this ? thanks !
Alrighty. Well, I'm disappointed nobody has any questions, but hope to continue to improve the software and maybe someone will take interest another day. :)
