Comment on Show HN: CloudPlay - A music player for YouTube, SoundCloud, and more

Are you planning on keeping this mac-only? Any reason for not making it browser-based? looks great, would love to try it

It's definitely coming to mobile (probably iOS first) if there's enough interest. There are already a few browser-based players that search multiple services, and I wanted something that doesn't require me to hunt down which browser tab is playing music :)

CloudPlay is basically Spotlight for Music. (Spotlight is the Mac indexing service/always-running-app that lets you quickly find and open files on your system.)

EDIT: To answer your actual question... it's Mac only for now, since I'm an army of one, but other platforms may come depending on demand.

yeah, i totally understand the need to focus on one platform at a time if you’re not going for a web app, but a Windows version (guess i’m in the minority here; ironic) would also be much appreciated. it looks really cool; would love to try it out someday.

Love the app, great job

If you do decide to offer a web version, a chrome/firefox extension might be a good choice - it could be a very similar user experience to how it works now in the mac menu bar, and you wouldn't have to keep a tab open for it.
