Big fan of this magazine growing up. Just noticed that the January '87 cover is titled with "14 Great Minds Predict The Future" Curious to see now what exactly those 30-year-old predictions were :)

Wow, I wonder how long this has been an issue. I recall buying tech books a few years back and noticing that the book quality was pretty low. At the time, I thought it was a general manufacturing decision to save money.

NSIS (created also by Nullsoft) was particularly awesome, made it a breeze to build a Windows installer. There was also a photo gallery script Justin created which I thought was ahead of its time back then.

Does this mean I can finally watch HBO GO on my PS4 via my Comcast account?

That's pretty awesome, very easy to read. I've been meaning to get into d3 soon, what is this particular style of graph called?

Love it.

I used Springy.JS ( http://getspringy.com/ ) It's a pretty awesome library.

Oh do you mean auto-complete? Not that easy to support since I'm relying on a remote server for song lyric searches

Thanks for stress testing, I made a fix this morning to reduce the spazziness :)

Thanks jonty, looks like a fine resource, though it's a bit expensive to use ($25000)

Love it :) The share buttons actually use the current page you are on, but I can see how it would be much more useful to just update the URL based on the search pattern.

Until I fix that, here's an example of how to deep link to a particular search:

http://songbranch.com/?artistName=daft%20punk&songTitle=tech...

Good suggestion, I had thought of having a single field earlier (delimiting artist and title with a '-') but I thought that most users might find it cumbersome.

To generate the final graph, I started by more or less splitting the entire song into a list of words, then iteratively rejoining fragments in an order based on frequency of occurrence.

That's a pretty neat approach, maybe I should do something similar. Originally I color-coded the words (based on frequency) but having a gradual spectrum applied to the edges feels a lot more intuitive.

Agreed, I've had similar difficulty. I ended up using http://makeitpersonal.co since it appeared to have decent coverage of most of the songs I searched on.

Great suggestion, I had originally wanted to create something like that, but I figure folks can just open up a separate YouTube window for that. Would also love to have the timing be in sync (ala Karaoke) but I'm not aware of any open database that stores that kind of metadata.

Haha yup - maybe not so great for epic ballads :)

Thanks, jonty. I like your layout choice, makes it more readable. What do the colors and arrow tips represent?

Thanks! I'm a HUGE Bob Dylan fan, incidentally :)

For those that are interested, I'm basically using lyrics-fetcher to conduct the song searches (via http://makeitpersonal.co) and Springy for the core visualization.

Awesome work! And I just realized it's the same guy who created ImpactJS. Awesome developer!

Thanks! All of the content you see is directly sourced from YouTube :)

I'd be careful with "jobs" since case appears to be ignored, so it's likely picking up references also to Steve Jobs (or anyone with that last name)
