> This isn’t advisory. It’s a physical limiter in the engine’s ECU. The truck cannot go faster.

I live in Latvia (in the EU) and see a significant part of our ARTICs on the roads go well past 90km/h daily. I presume their fleets do monitor the speed and alert the driver if speeding for a prolonged period of time but they are obviously not physically limited. Maybe the limits do come from the factory but get disabled? I really couldn't say.

A recent journalistic investigation uncovered a problem with the weight limit not being followed on a mass scale too. Specifically by our lumber industry whos drivers are incentivized to break the law. Even if you see a dangerous overloaded truck on the road and call the Police, it is likely no action will be taken because there only a couple of units in the country that are equipped to weigh a freight truck out in the field.

Thanks for trying it out! There currently are only 18k playlists indexed, so only those can be found. I've been planing a feature, where users can suggest playlist search terms by which I should extend the index.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it!

Thanks for trying it out! The site only includes indexed playlists and tracks, which have to be updated semi-manually, so currently only 18k playlists can be found. I plan to increase this, of course, but not at a crazy rate, because I'm hosting this out of my own pocket.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.

Currently the site only works with Spotify tracks and playlists. If you care to create a public spotify playlist, I'll gladly add it in.

There's a post in their official forums with 60+ pages from 2012, but they state that there's not enough demand...

Awesome, glad you like it!

Thanks for the feedback! You are supposed to click on a song to see playlists it contains. Sorry for the unclear UI.

Thanks for the feedback!

Currently the database contains only ~18k playlists and ~1.4M tracks. So only the relationships between them are used in the app.

Edit: theres even a counter at the top of the page, but it takes a while to show up, because of the HN effect.

That functionality already exists, but is prompted for only on large screens, because I didn't think anybody would use it on mobile. And thanks for the feedback!

I'll check out the write-up, thanks. As for user-data, the request count limit is not even the limiting factor. If you want to request data with a users token, you can't at all, without getting a quota extension (apart from 25 pre-registered developer users).

Thank you very much!

I also use the Spotify radios a lot, but they are heavily curated - they contain a lot of songs that you already have in a playlist or have liked. So they are useful for listening, but slightly less for strictly music discovery.

Interesting idea!

Slightly off-topic, but originally I had planned to organically grow the playlist count by allowing users to login with their Spotify account and reading their playlists. I even made a prototype...but turns out Spotify only allows working with user data once you have your API quota extended, which seemed like quite the undertaking.

I'm not a 100% on how it works myself, just a stong hunch based on the site speed and results.

Awesome, thanks!

As other people have noted, the site is missing a loading indicator and currently, very many people are trying to access it, so you are doing everything correctly, just currently requests take upwards of 30 seconds to process.

Thanks, I registered the issue on GitHub.

Thanks and noted! :)

Other people have made similar tools, but Spotify still hasn't added any native playlist-search-by-tracks AFAIK.

Thanks for the feedback! The loading indicator is an overlook on my side and you are not the only one that noticed :D. I seem to have been very naive about how HN might affect the site.

Great to hear! Just not that the site is very unresponsive right now, thanks to all the HN love. So probably a good idea to bookmark it and come back later.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add a button. For me it works just by pressing "enter" on the mobile keyboard, but admittedly I didn't test it very thoroughly.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NameThatSong/ might be able to help with that

To be honest I can't remember anymore, it was a few years back that I initially got the idea for it. Might have been Alone by The Upbeats.

This is alternate approach, that uses an advanced Google search under the hood. It works very approximately, given that it searches the song title in everything Google decides to index.

Thanks for the feedback!

The loading indicator is also on the list, TBH was supposed to go up before ShowHN, but I forgot. And yeah, now the query execution wait time for my measly 2-core postgres instance is about 30 seconds :D.

Thank you for the feedback!

It is currently limited to one song, but there is already an issue on github planning multiple song selection. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

As for over-abundance of results, sorting by name length in ascending order should help at least somewhat, but the search approach is an open problem.

As an aside: on large screens there is also an option to choose a specific song by dragging it from the Spotify client.

It seems that within 10ish minutes the site has already been hugged to near-death. Thank You :D
