Thanks checking it out and for your comments! So I definitely don't see this as really replacing Soundclound (also considering that only SC songs are supported ATM so its a subset of whats available on SC). Like you said lots of people out there use SC and have a nice stream of music based on the artists/labels/whatever they follow. This is more for aimmed at discovery and solve a pain point that I had and I don't think the trending sections for EDM in SC is that good.

While I normally use the usual SC/Spotify to listen to things I already know about, there wasn't a good way for me of finding new and perhaps lesser known remixes/artists/tracks. I normally checked a number of blogs manually and that became a hassle. Especially when you can't "play through" the songs on a blog in sequential order because it stops after each song. So I'm aggregating the postings from a number of blogs and other sources together so I can just check one source, play the newest songs, and save the ones I like.

I think you hit the spot when you said broaden [your] horizon, thats definitely one of the key points. The goal is that the feed in The Daily Drop is more varied than your personal SC stream so hopefully you find some new artists/tracks to follow/favorite. And you're also right, I myself also run into songs I just don't like and that I just skip. When building it I tried to add the features that I wanted and what it ended up being was a different features from services that I liked but didn't have in one app (aggregation from Hypem, queue/history from Spotify, shuffle from Spotify/SC, remixes found on SC vs 'mainstream' on Spotify, etc.).

The social and control components are definitely coming in the future when I have the time that will hopefully make it a more compelling product. As well as other genre within the music. (I'm a big hip hop fan too!)

That's great. Yeah, I just wanted to bring forward that I use a pretty slim criteria for when I'm deciding to unfollow an account on SC. Essentially, if that account is not posting or reposting any tracks that I'm interested in for a while, I unfollow them.

So I would hate to see this to you at a larger scale... "Well, Daily Drop isn't posting anything I'm interested in anymore, so I just won't use it". Having more control and options would very much help protect against this. Best of luck!
