Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

my playlist for this weekend is growing!
oh absolutely same, it’s fucking ridiculous how hard it is to share music in any way that doesn’t immediately tie you to a streaming service your friends might not have. I’d really like a web service that’d take a Spotify/Apple Music/whatever share link or a song or album title and output a link to a page that’d just link that song’s data on MusicBrainz and have a bunch of buttons to listen to it on whatever service or the best match on YouTube. I’ve been tempted so many times to create this
Songwhip kinda does that, but you need to start with a song or artist or album name, it can’t convert specific Spotify URLs. And it doesn’t link MusicBrainz for some reason.
Also it’s closed-source so I have no real idea what happens behind the scenes.
exactly that is one of the properties I want to have in my thing, yeah
(what fucking sucks is that Last.fm also used to fill this niche, before they too ramped up on being fucking databroker)
