Should work on phone, tablet, and desktop but still needs a lot of testing/debugging. It's all in HTML5, so various browser behave better or worse.

Any thoughts or feedback would be super awesome. Thanks!

Looks cool.

I found one issue though. I had signed up with just my email and captcha and when I attempt to login on a different browser, it again sends an email with the activation link. It's a bold attempt, but I would rather remember my Password than typing in the captcha and waiting for the activation mail to come, every single time.

Thanks.

Yeah, still working out the details for email-only login.

The biggest pain is that opening a link from email usually creates a new tab, so you end up having two windows open. The new window should show you as logged-in, but the previous window doesn't auto-update yet (it should soon).

The other tricky part (and annoyance) is wait for mail and making sure it opens in your preferred browser.

The big upside is that we don't need to hold on to anyone's password, and assuming you use some form of webmail, it has the possibility to be pretty seamless. Just have to get to that point :)

Yes agree! But, I would suggest you to keep an eye on this.

Otherwise, this is a great one for music lovers lost in the tech world. Thanks for this.

using a webmail (yahoo.fr) and I was unable to login at all (tried on 2 computers, no luck) :(

if you want to debug this bug you can email me and will help gladly.

Thank you! This is lovely. After reading pages and pages of HN where so many know the secret of the elixir, it was pleasure to play with something from the heart.

That's music to my ears :)

Definitely needs a lot more work before it has a chance of standing on its own two feet as a startup, but I decided to begin from what I'm passionate about and see what it goes.

New ideas run on enthusiasm, so your kind comment was much appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe people would pay for live (really live) music.
