I made this small app last Saturday solely because I wanted to. Any feedback is welcome.<p>Oh, and the source code is open: <a href="https://github.com/karan/scInstant" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/karan/scInstant</a><p>EDIT: Right now, it's meant to be used only on desktop. I'm starting to get into frontend stuff, so don't really know how to touch optimize the app. Again, suggestions welcome.
This reminds me of Feross Aboukhadijeh his Youtube instant.

Are you sending a new query every 200ms? <a href="https://github.com/karan/scInstant/blob/gh-pages/app.js#L98" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/karan/scInstant/blob/gh-pages/app.js#L98</a>
Very nice! I had some deja vu when I read the title. I posted an HN thread with the same exact title over two years ago!<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3363451" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3363451</a><p>I will sell you soundcloudinstant.com for 1 million dollhairs. But really, yours is much better :)
Nice work. I'm personally not a huge fan of autoplay, since there's a ton of stuff on SC and the search results aren't always accurate enough.<p>Volume control would also be ace. Not sure how easy that would be to implement - now that I think about it, I've never seen it on any of their widgets.
Chiming in with shameless me too self promotion...<p>I have a similar feature on <a href="http://tuned.io/" rel="nofollow">http://tuned.io/</a> - it's a soundcloud search with autocomplete; you can play any of the search results instantly, etc.<p>The music makes for good coding background.
Also, if anyone wants, I setup a list where you can get notified when I make something cool! <a href="http://eepurl.com/SRIPT" rel="nofollow">http://eepurl.com/SRIPT</a>
For all you SoundCloud and 8tracks users, here's a way to load tracks by voice: <a href="http://bit.ly/1l8r5yf" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1l8r5yf</a>
i love it but it would be cooler with a full screen UI, there was a soundcloud api hack that would play people's loved/favorited tracks that kind of did that..
