good one! https://www.inboxsdk.com/ makes it pretty easy to integrate a button in google inbox! feel free to fork my repo, and see how i did that: https://github.com/adrienjoly/chrome-contacts-for-google-inb...

nice! how did you pick/create each environment? (e.g. what node.js version is going to be used, and is express.js installed out of the box, if I select the "node" container?)

good job! do you curate the youtube videos by hand?

now with memes! https://gist.github.com/adrienjoly/bacd38b836be7b0ca4d0

Whyd.com supports the https protocol, feel free to use it.

Adding a song allows you to add it to one of your playlist, or at least on top of your profile. Liking a song just makes it show up on the "likes" tab of your profile. In both cases, the person who posted the track is notified, and their counters increment. On the rankings (whyd.com/hot), only "adds" are counted.

Thanks! Obvious monetization models for such services are: - affiliation (sell concert tickets, based on your musical preferences, which is based on your activity on the site) - sell "music influence network" data and/or promotion services to labels / bands - sell subscriptions to third-party music services to broaden the range of music available on the site, especially for off-line / mobile consumption, or quality of audio Today, our focus is on building a good platform.

Our last.fm scrobbler was a quick "friday" feature, but I'm happy to investigate this issue with your help if you contact me (adrien at whyd dot com)

Genre-based communities/groups are on our roadmap. We are going to release a genre-based onboarding next week, in order to subscribe to more relevant curators.

We did ask a few of our power users to support our post on HN, but did not ask them to comment. I understand that one-word comment don't bring value to the conversation, and I'm sorry about that... But I'm happy to get this opportunity to read your feedback, and reply to it!

Yes a few users reported issues while trying to update their avatar... I'll have a look at that asap! Concerning the possibility to send "spam" to someone by setting the email address, we have had no complaints so far. Possibly thanks to selectivity of people who use the site because of the invite-only sign up.

Thanks Gilles, I'm glad that you enjoy Play'em! :-D

OkCupid's team often publish interesting studies, based on the tests they provide to their users. The last I read, "The best questions for a first date", finds some funny correlations. E.g. between the probability of having sex on a first date, and liking the taste of beer! It's simple statistics, but the charts are provided as a proof.
