>Sorry, neither the idea nor the execution impress me very much.
I don't think they created it to impress you. If your reaction is "meh" you can express that just as well by not commenting.
I think people are taking the GP's comment out of context since the original headline was "Predominant.ly: great execution of a simple idea" (https://www.facebook.com/hnbot/posts/794421357279814) and it has since been shortened.

As a fan of both music and design, I find it fascinating.
Both the idea and the execution impress me. I can't say it has much of a draw for returning users though. I look at it as a nicely done, fun, weekend hack. Maybe the referrals will send OP a little cash, not much of course.
Given that this was pretty clearly built in rejection of conventional 'usefulness' it's bizarre to see that's the most common criticism ITT
This seems about as useful as the "random radio" function in every existing music player. Except it is slow and cumbersome to use.
EDIT: Please note this reply was written when the submission title was: "A great execution of a simple idea". The title has since been changed by the π¦π¨deπ«atπ¨rαΆ°π¬.
