Normally around 20, but I had much more. Then I've discovered One Tab - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbo... - but actually I'm ending always with lots of tabs anyway!

Love the idea and how it looks but, I can't follow anyone if I don't invite friends? Looks like I can only invite via mail or text, no Facebook?

We're doing the Instagram for vinyl record lovers, give it a try! We're secretly online fixing the last things before the official launch - bit.ly/needle_appstore

Mmmm, I'm the only one that I don't get this thing? I'm redirected to a page in Wikipedia where it says that nothing exist about this

@ is used to mention users, so if we start typing @ it would return the users list and also the vinyl records list, too much data to filter

Yes that would be nice, but I was thinking of a character that is not "commonly" used while chatting, to avoid boring pop up while writing normal things

yea, true!

it is different than a link in the same way that @ will link to a user. The ~ will trigger the list of my object to share. You know when in Instagram you start typing @ it return the list of user you want to mention? Same goes with the ~ but it return the list of the object I've posted

thanks for the suggestion! =)

I forgot to say that Needle it's a mobile app, so it's complicated to use hyperlinks and other things.

I don't think is complex, I think is very usefull. A trigger to an object I want to share.

Think of Instagram, in a comment of an another user you want to show a pic you made of the same subject: Hey @user check my ~objectID looks similar

When the user start ~ Instagram will return the thumbnail of my pics, I can choose the one I want and bam I've created a direct link to one of my pics. Same goes for Twitter and other apps.

Sure there's other things to think about how it could work in Instagram but it could be an idea.

It actually create a link to a specific object, using #ragysh would show all the release that have this tag, not the specific one I want to show.

Ideally I was thinking to let user filter only through the album they have uploaded. This to avoid to filter thousands of vinyl records in our database.

About the same title I guess that a solution might be the one I've written to chton down here

yea it's tru that you actually lose the actual name, however when the user click it will see the real title. Let's say that it could be a shortcut.

A good "workaround" might be that the ~ trigger the list of album in my collection (for example ~r filter the album title that start with r) once I click the album I want in the comment will appear the full clickable title so: Todd Terje - Ragysh

The submit page it's almost unreadable! =)

This is awesome, you made this? I got a project about vinyl records, would love to contact you!

Helloo

Hello Colin, yes I definately think that now is better! Thanks for your suggestions

Thanks! good idea the About section

Hello Colin, I updated the website, followed some of your suggestion. Thanks!

Thanks for the inspirations!

Here's the new version - http://test.bluetouchdev.com/

Feedback is appreciated again

Hello Colin,

thanks for the honest feedback. Well, about the swish and slide, yea It's true that is more of a fancy thing than the real utility, totally agree but no, is not that all I want.

Interesting point the call to action and something to engage. I thought that the video could work, but looks like is not. Maybe I can modify the first "page" in:

We love vinyl records Join us and start sharing your collection.

True as well that is not clear what Needle is, a social network. Is not mentioned, I need to clarify this as well.

We got and endless to do list on server and app, and I'm totally into the project since long time so I guess I'm loosing my focus from the users view.

Not bad, but you should check Jeremy Ellis! Maybe you already know him

Use your social network, write down a press release about your app and send it to blogs interested in the subject. Don't send a bulk message! Be creative and personal for each blog you contact.

That's my 2cent about this, it worked for a little experiment I made some times ago

Best of luck!

Wonderful

Hello Scott, wait there might be a misunderstood. We're not streaming full song in our app, we're connected to the iTunes preview, then from the app a user can chose to buy the song in iTunes. If you got an iPhone I'd be happy if you can give it a try to understand better how our app works and let me know.

Forgot to mention that the service is free, the streaming as well

Well, we're connected to iTunes and YouTube, so nothing is stored on our server. Does it might rapresent a problem anyway? We're in Italy so licensing might be different from US

Thanks! We hope so!
