I cannot tell you how cool this is @sw1tch! Being a "cable cutter", I regularly hook up my laptop to my TV/stereo and have always thought something like this was needed! While I have Roku and Chromecast and do enjoy having a remote and simplified UI for their apps, they just aren't as fast or fluid as the computer. Nice work. Thanks for sharing!
Also glad to see you've included a developer API. Any interesting integrations on the horizon?
Hey everybody, I made Mote.io when I realized I wanted to control Hype Machine while playing Settlers of Catan with my friends. It took me a year of work from prototype to launch.
The future will include Firefox support, volume control, larger artwork, faster setup, and maybe even a Google Glass app!
The Chrome extension is open source, so if you want support for your own site you can get started right away. https://github.com/ianjennings/m...
I hear a lot of stories of the inspiration builders/founders have in building their product. This is one of my favorites:
"I wanted to control Hype Machine while playing Settlers of Catan with my friends."
Well done, @sw1tch!
