And to make it easier to try, we just added a regular name/password login (even email is not needed). And for the throwaway accounts just start user name with '@'. I hope it will open DiskYT for more people to try.


Interesting, I never tried to drag a YT link from my bookmarks, but it actually works. A link is just a link, and drag and drop does not care, where this link originates. Cool!


Wow, so many ideas. Thanks a lot.

You are probably right, that it's not focused enough. I was making it mainly as a music player for my parents initially. So I tried to make it as simple as possible. Then, while playing with the site, I was adding features that looked useful to me.

I totally understand login dilemma (and the site already was blamed as suspicious/fishing on the YT forum). The funny thing is that initial version allowed anonymous editing, saving everything locally, but my kids told me that everyone is fine nowadays using their social login. Maybe I need to re-evaluate the assumption. But that will be a lot of work.

Mashup player, while sounds cool, it seems to deviate too far from the playlist handling and I'm not even sure that it's doable with the embedded YT player.

The spinning thing apparently does not even click with the young generation, they never used anything spinning really. Go figure.

Folders vs playlists. Well, former are rectangular, while latter are round - looks different to me.

So you are probably right and it's all over the map. I will wait a bit collecting feedback and fixing immediate problems and we'll see what could be the direction.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Edit: trying to format properly.


Thank you. It's rather depressing when you get zero feedback.


I understand that, we had the same feeling when we launch our side project a month ago.


And for a limited time you may have your new station featured: https://diskyt.com/featured.


Thanks. Will need to learn what auto-tweeting is.
