Although the submission you speak of was deleted, its discussion thread wasn't[1].
YouPhonics certainly sounds like a good idea, capturing the "social" aspect of GitHub. I assume it allows you to mash-up and remix peoples tracks? That would be killer, and I'm sure people using services such as SoundCloud[2] to host their tracks would quickly migrate to it. (If you have the time, post an guest login here for us to demo it.)
I second rch's motion[3] to GitHub YouPhonics' code―even if it is ugly and hacky (depending on your level of perfection, whose code isn't?!). If anything, you'd make all the effort you put into it even more fruitful.
Re: [1] – true, though access to it became severely impaired for folks who browse HN posts through RSS readers. Still keeping an eye on the thread, thanks for linking!
Re: [2] – your assumption is 90% correct. There are nuances, but it becomes ridiculous to explain with words. Guest login: username => hnguest; password => goodolyc
Re: [3] – duly noted. Another one or two in your camp, and I will absolutely disregard the advice I previously received!

This isn't working for me. Has it changed, or am I somehow boning it?
It wasn't working for someone else before (~7 hours ago, just got back from dinner and a meeting), but I had fixed it before I left.
Just tested; it's totally working now.
