I made this small app last Saturday solely because I wanted to. Any feedback is welcome.

Oh, and the source code is open: https://github.com/karan/scInstant

EDIT: Right now, it's meant to be used only on desktop. I'm starting to get into frontend stuff, so don't really know how to touch optimize the app. Again, suggestions welcome.

It's loading very fast! Cool project. An "add to playlist" button would be cool I think (unless I'm not seeing it).

I'm not sure if this is your type of thing but if you are looking for more ideas I was very impressed by the juketube angular/polymer demos[0]. It'd be very cool to see those projects ported to soundcloud instead of YouTube.

That would need soundcloud auth. I wanted to make a dead simple, click/type and be done app. Thanks though! :)

This is great. It would be nice to see the next couple of songs that are going to play and maybe a delete button next to them. A Youtube version would also be useful.

I thought about showing next songs, but I want to keep the UI minimal, and not showing the app keeps a bit of surprise factor in there.

I like the idea but search on YouTube seems to be so inaccurate I'm not sure if it would work nearly as well.

I'm having trouble thinking of how to improve scInstant as it is--it's so pared down and fast and just works! Great job!

I'm glad you like it. Feel free to send any PRs. As long as the UI isn't bloated, I'm happy to merge. :)

Great! I guess it is searching little bit too fast so that using browser's back button showing some other results for each key stroke.
