Playa

##Problem

Music hogs

##The Solution

Democratically chosen playlists

##Libraries, Gems and other stuff

• underscore.js

• backbone.js

• gem 'font-awesome-rails'

• gem 'ruby-oembed'

• gem 'soundcloud'

##Sore bits

• The front page

• Repeated code

• Guests can't preview songs

• Creator can only skip to a new track by shuffling

• Backbone in general

##Cool beans

• Shuffling

• Voting to skip tracks

• Continuous play

##What's next?

• Allow YouTube URLs to be added

• Allow SoundCloud / YouTube search

• Allows song preview on guest view of playlist

• Allow playlist creator to edit playlist and delete songs

• Allow users to fork other people's playlists

• Show skipped songs

• Real time polling for votes and new songs

• Checks for presence of album artwork, checks for presence of URL when new songs are added

• Responsive styling
