Man, I showed you guys this days before Reddit and nobody gave a damn, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8896228. Ah well, author here. Feel free to ask questions as you see fit. I'll re-iterate what I had said in my other post: Streamus has been my personal project for almost three years. I had become frustrated with managing music hosted on YouTube and decided to streamline the process. The client is written with Backbone/Marionette and is backed by a C# server.

Author here. Streamus has been my personal project for almost three years. I had become frustrated with managing music hosted on YouTube and decided to streamline the process. The client is written with Backbone/Marionette and is backed by a C# server. The entire project is open-source: - https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension/ - https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusServer Streamus enjoys ~150K weekly users and continues to grow after recently updating the UI with a design inspired by Google's Material Design principles. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/vyd56 I have no concrete plans to monetize; Streamus is mostly serving as an invaluable learning experience. I went into this with very little knowledge of JavaScript, design, and development workflow. Pushing myself to better the product has forced me to markedly improve in all asp

I make this sweet Google Chrome extension for fun in my spare time: http://streamus.com It's a YouTube music player that I find more useful than Spotify b/c it integrates well with the browser. I've put 16 months of nights/weekends into it. It has 14k users, 4.8/5 in the web store and is completely open-source: https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusWebsite https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusServer I find it fun for a TON of reasons. I'm learning a lot more about programming than I ever had in the past. This is the first time I've ever been super interested in absorbing material because it has a great impact upon me. I get messages from people all around the world every day saying thanks for the work. That feeling is super rewarding -- more so than a paycheck. I've had to bust out Google Transla

Hey everyone, I'm a young developer with a penchant for music and quality software. I have spent the last 16 months developing an open-source Google Chrome extension which attempts to simplify the experience of using YouTube to play music. Streamus: http://streamus.com/ Streamus currently has 14,000 users and is the #1 trending / #4 ranked 'fun' extension in the web store. I've built it entirely from scratch while teaching myself the basics of BackboneJS (and Backbone.Marionette), RequireJS, GruntJS and many other, smaller libraries. It has been a great learning experience. I would love to field any questions about the product, challenges encountered while creating it, etc. Really anything you'd like to know -- I'm all ears and super excited to discuss it. Here's all the source code if that's your thing: https://github.com/MeoMix/Stream

Hiya! Developer of Streamus, Sean, here. I've been using Streamus as a strong learning opportunity over the past 15+ months. I've taught myself BackboneJS, GruntJS, RequireJS and a handful of smaller libraries over the last year and the entire experience has been extremely rewarding. If anyone has any questions about the product, how it was made, or anything in between -- feel free to ask. I'll be hanging out all day. :) You can find the code for the extension, website and server here: https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusWebsite https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusServer
