Show HN: Loopon is a multi-user beat maker in the browser

I like it a lot but can you support private rooms? People jump in my room and mess up my sweet track. :-0

I understand its a little buggy like everyone else is saying, but overall I had a ball using it for about ten straight minutes. It was annoying at first when random people started dropping beats in left and right, but it usually just made it even better. Thanks

If you are so inclined to vote, it would be appreciated. Sometimes the vote link/widget on the site doesn't work, but feel free to use the direct link: <a href="http://nodeknockout.com/teams/sponoders" rel="nofollow">http://nodeknockout.com/teams/sponoders</a><p>There is also more information about the project and the other guys that helped build it.<p>I had fun, I kind of wish competitions like this came up more often.

When you drop instruments in it often doesn't take.<p>When you attempt to delete instruments it often does not.<p>I think it works better as a whack-a-mole variant (trying to 'x' out instruments) since there are no private rooms and strangers just wander in and drop instruments all over your board.<p>Cool idea though. Keep at it.<p>Edit: I should add that it looks very slick. Well done there.

Looks interesting, but doesn't actually play any sound here. I'd guess perhaps you use Flash to play sound; a quick scan of the page source doesn't turn up any embed or object tags, but perhaps they get added from a script.<p>Any plans to support the HTML5 Audio Data API or something similar?

Doesn't really work for me :( Nothing in FF, sort of works in Chrome, but not really. Sounds don't always play, and most importantly, the timing is way off.<p>I've been waiting for somebody to do this properly for yeaaarsss.. so much fun potential here.

It looks like GitHub for Mac, except with not-as-pretty button icons.<p><a href="http://mac.github.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mac.github.com/</a>

This app breaks the browser back button.

An exciting concept for musicians, as working together asynchronously isn't possible sitting together.

Cool but doesn't work very well. On Chrome and W7.

The name sounds too much like Groupon.
