But at the same time we're engineers with pessimistic minds focussed on failure and monetization so I sadly expect different.

What people do alone is very interesting and this site does a really good job at capturing that. HN is a place of very constructive and brutal criticism, so you will probably be disciplined on what it should do or what's wrong with it. But in my eyes this is a really interesting piece of art and social media that people like me really appreciate. Keep up the excellent work!

Ask HN: Should engineering jobs have a nap time?

Posted by addict3d on Thursday March 10, 2016 @06:59AM
from the ask-hn dept.

As an engineer with a full-time job I am usually juggling contracts on the side and not getting enough sleep. My days of mentally taxing coding all day can make me tired in the middle of the day. Does anyone else have this experience and do you think it's reasonable to request the company you work for to provide a nap time?EDIT: Grammar

This looks great, could you please integrate youtube and soundcloud search for streaming?

EDIT: https://github.com/embedly/player.js may save you some time!

I did some googling a while back and saw some very similar. Same stack even. I've on multiple occasions seen ideas I've had created in the same exact stack I'm using. I probably have even seen your project, I'm thinking of open-sourcing mine since it's not being used at the moment but it's a tad-bit incomplete.

Holy, cow! I was working on a node-webkit/cordova angularJS app very similar to this until I got bored of angular. It pulls music from Soundcloud and YouTube.

Here's a screenshot if anyone's interested http://i.imgur.com/uSBNSeE.png

You can achieve the same results with absolute positioning, which I prefer.

Thanks for putting your time to this fantastic list.

That is not the dropbox logo, it's just an icon of an open box, surrounded by an arrow seemingly to rotate. Perhaps it's a company that manufactured the box out of recycled material.
