Show HN: SoundCloud Instant

Hmmm...<p>&gt; Blocked loading mixed active content &quot;<a href="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.jquery.com&#x2F;jquery-latest.js&quot;</a><p>&gt; Blocked loading mixed active content &quot;<a href="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;connect.soundcloud.com&#x2F;sdk.js&quot;</a><p>You&#x27;re trying to mix HTTPS and HTTP...<p>I also see that your API key is there in clear. I hope no one can do any bad stuff in your name.<p>Oh, and it looks like every action is sent to google for statistics ?

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:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;karan&#x2F;scInstant</a><p>EDIT: Right now, it&#x27;s meant to be used only on desktop. I&#x27;m starting to get into frontend stuff, so don&#x27;t really know how to touch optimize the app. Again, suggestions welcome.

This reminds me of Feross Aboukhadijeh his Youtube instant. (<a href="http://www.quora.com/What-were-the-main-reasons-why-Feross-Aboukhadijeh-turned-down-a-job-offer-at-YouTube" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-were-the-main-reasons-why-Feross-A...</a>)<p>Does the API has rate limit? Are you sending a new query every 200ms? <a href="https://github.com/karan/scInstant/blob/gh-pages/app.js#L98" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;karan&#x2F;scInstant&#x2F;blob&#x2F;gh-pages&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=3363451</a><p>I will sell you soundcloudinstant.com for 1 million dollhairs. But really, yours is much better :)

Nice work. I&#x27;m personally not a huge fan of autoplay, since there&#x27;s a ton of stuff on SC and the search results aren&#x27;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&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;tuned.io&#x2F;</a> - it&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;eepurl.com&#x2F;SRIPT</a>

For all you SoundCloud and 8tracks users, here&#x27;s a way to load tracks by voice: <a href="http://bit.ly/1l8r5yf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;1l8r5yf</a>

Small bug: it reloads the track when I press the volume up &#x2F; down keys on my keyboard. Using a samsung 7-series notebook.

It only allows me to search once, if I try to search for something else, I have to refresh.

i love it but it would be cooler with a full screen UI, there was a soundcloud api hack that would play people&#x27;s loved&#x2F;favorited tracks that kind of did that..

NICE. This shit is dope.
