Flutter Updated with Next and Previous Song Gestures For Mac

This seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The front page says, "Remember all those times you had to pause your music but had to find the right window?"<p>No. Every fucking keyboard on the planet has a pause button on it. Who goes searching for a window to click a button to pause music?

This is awesome! Love the design of your site! So fresh &#38; upbeat.<p>A couple of points of feedback<p>-A better gesture walkthrough for first time users would be helpful<p>-Start with a 14 day trial and then charge for this. I would pay for this app.<p>-It might not hurt to add something like "we are kinect for your itunes!"<p>Great job! Really excited to see where you guys go with this!

Maybe I'm just doing it wrong but each time I hit the "I'M READY" button on the intro screen the app crashes (and goes away from my task bar on the top right)... Early 2011 MBP, 10.8.2<p>Edit: looks to be unrelated to hitting the button, it's just crashing on start-up.<p>Edit numero dos, ran it from the command line, got this:<p><pre><code> kasra-mbp:MacOS kasrarahjerdi$ ./Flutter sem_open: Operation not permitted Bus error: 10 kasra-mbp:MacOS kasrarahjerdi$ </code></pre> Edit number three: Here's a crash report, sorry it's a gist I don't have anywhere to upload files to right now: <a href="https://gist.github.com/ce750dcc9c8aea8f855c" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/ce750dcc9c8aea8f855c</a>

Really cool app, thanks! I've been using it the whole day yesterday and performance was really good (did get few false positives though..). I was pleasantly surprised when it recognised next song gestures in really dark conditions, hand was mainly lit up just from the macbook screen itself.<p>It would be really cool to have a gesture for answering a Skype call (maybe even making a call, to pop up online contact list). Telephone hand gesture should do the trick.<p>Keep up the good work! I can see this going beyond the music control.

I remember commenting the story when the first release came out (IIRC it was just play/pause). I'm thrilled to see that this is still going, as there have been plenty of times I've ended up scrambling around for my Mac remote in the dark.

I tried it with VLC, the play/pause diagram showed up, but nothing happened. Does it only work with iTunes and Spotify?<p>Edit: I love the design of your site. Very comic book/Roy Lichtenstein-ish. One critique is the hand. Everything else has perspective or shading, the hand is flat and it should be a big part of page and be more noticeable, since it is a motion controlled app.

30 minutes later I noticed my fan went into overdrive. Opened up Activity Monitor and noticed this: <a href="http://cl.ly/image/0Q3g3Q2b0V1j" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/image/0Q3g3Q2b0V1j</a><p>It uses a minimum of 70% CPU after several minutes of usage. Needs to be fixed. Closing and re-opening the application solves it for 5-10 mins, then back to the same.

I can't stand downloading things through the App Store. The "do you want to open in" popup where I know I need to wait for a program to load, usually input credentials, and press download again. As I suspect this isn't a very big file, I'd really at least like the option to download straight from the site.

Why is this app free?<p>It's a feature added on top of other apps, there's nothing stopping any of those apps from adding this feature and making Flutter a moot point...why not charge for the app now so you can profit before any of the apps you're piggy backing off of pivot and make Flutter irrelevant?

Cool, but not cool enough to switch to iTunes for music playback. A Songbird plug-in and I would be using this daily, and I'd pay for it.

Love it. Volume controls would be nice, and I'm glad it's in the works.<p>Even with the limited functionality, I'd gladly pay for this.

It seems to be working pretty well, but I have really good lighting around here.<p>But 20% usage and the fact it doesn't <i>always</i> works makes this a cool hack, nothing more.

I'm curious to know what your business model is. Is the market for a utility, even on both platforms, really large enough to interest YC, or are you planning to fry bigger fish?

This is an awesome app and it's free!<p>I wish that it worked from further than 6 feet away. I hope they have plans to make 👍 and 👎 control the volume.

The green camera-on light on my macbook gives me a headache, even if I know its only tracking gestures.

I know this is supposed to be a gimmicky product but it actually works just well enough (still less practical than the play/pause button on the keyboard) that the novelty factor makes this fun enough that I'm constantly using it over the physical buttons.<p>I can't see this beating a keyboard for stuff like browsing the internet but it'd be great for controlling music, or maybe air-drumming.<p>Great job guys!

What gestures I can use, other than the palm of hand shown on the homepage?
