Comment on Ask HN: What are your side projects? 9/12

Comments

I am working on http://www.youfm.org

This is the side project I'm using to learn programming. I built the first(current) version using PHP + Javascript without any frameworks. The upcoming version is rewritten in Rails and Backbone.JS (which I think was a mistake). The new version has additional features like playlists, mobile-compatibility, the ability to resize the video, bookmarkable URLs, etc.

Do you think rails or backbone was a mistake, or both? I'm a huge fan of backbone and would urge you to stick with it. It pays off!
