Link to website: http://www.attictv.com<p>AtticTV is a music video site that focuses on providing a super "kick back and relax" experience while watching music videos. We think it would be an excellent companion while you code :)<p>Many people currently use Youtube as their primary source of watching music videos. But, it's hard for them to discover as they would need to know the name of the song + artist name. And it's a rather irritating experience to create a playlist and manage different types of playlist content<p>Our big idea is to try to be the default way that people enjoy music and watch music videos while they work or are doing something else and want to have some music in the background, plus the ability to entertain themselves with a music video whenever they want to. The feeling you get when you leave MTV playing on a TV in the background while you're at the gym or getting some work done.<p>The experience is very simple and straight forward where you load up the site, pick a genre you like, and enjoy the best music videos (we're still working very hard on this part to improve it) from all over the web for that particular genre.<p>If you hear a song you like, you can always add it to your personal playlist for easy access. (you have to log in with Facebook to create your own playlist).<p>We're still in beta and are making a lot of changes and have a lot of work to do but wanted to get some feedback.
Very cool concept. I think you'll probably even get some good traction with it. Love the "sync" aspect of it that means everyone in a channel is hearing the same thing.<p>By the way, the fact that you're giving tools to people who listen to a lot of music on YouTube (most people in younger generations do) is solving a major problem. These people currently have few ways of creating playlists in ways that are intuitive to them and geared for music.
Very cool site, I really like the idea of the 'channel' and therefore syncing around the world, its neat! I agree with some of the comments, the option to skip and 'unsync' would be quite cool.<p>Is there a way to hide video? I understand its a music video site, but the way it solves the 'irritating experience' of playlists on youtube (which I fully agree with), it great even to use it just for audio.
Nice idea and nice execution!<p>I would however work on your pitch since it was never clear from your description that it's actually synchronized with everyone else visiting the site.<p>I think you should market it more as a radio station for music videos with social features.<p>Good luck!
Can I please skip a song?<p>Bug: When I hit a song that was "not available in my country", it asked me to skip the channel. It should just skip the song.
Please don't use Go Daddy! I see the site is registered through and the certificate is signed by Go Daddy. The CEO is an elephant killer and they support(ed) SOPA/PIPA. Also send all resources through SSL, so you don't get a red slash through "https" in chrome. I understand the decision not to encrypt all resources on the page, but everyday users might get the wrong idea about what is being offered.<p>I have been looking for this sort of service for a while now. Great job! I did not see a way to log in using anything but Facebook. I would appreciate the ability to use Google OAuth as well.<p>One more criticism in this bad, good, bad sandwich. For christ's sake can we all just stop using Flash!!! This is the worst part of the service. Again, I understand the temptation to use Flash, but it is not very forward thinking of your team. To be brutally honest.
