Super cool idea. I've bought bluetooth speakers a while back, and surprised myself starting using my mobile a lot to play music. It plays well with watch control and make it easy to just switch to headphone and go out (spotify device control is quite good, but won't always work). I like how this app allows for the same thing without having to choose between … See more

@oelmekki Thanks Olivier, I really appreciate you like it! Basically the phone acts as an audio file server and uses the local network to send the files to the browser through TCP/IP sockets. Then the communication between phone/browser is done over web sockets. Thanks again!

@atamagno Oh, just tried it, it's not exactly what I thought it was actually: it streams files, not sound. Do you think there's any chance (if that's the kind of product you want to make) to take the web app as an audio output for the mobile device?

@oelmekki Oh I think I get what you're saying now. As far as I know any file downloaded from Spotify, Google Music, Deezer, etc for offline play is encoded someway (I'm not sure about how that is done). The functionality you describe would be great of course, but I think that is not possible, at least in a legal way. For now Weezzler is only able to play… See more
