Here’s something on that note: Henrik and I have spent the last few weekends building an iTunes-like music player that runs in the browser (currently not in IE) and uses the SoundCloud API as its music source.

The Cloud Player let’s you save playlists to your Google Account, and you can share them with your friends as well. Here’s a playlist with some electronic favorites of mine.

The Cloud Player is built on jQuery, SoundManager 2 and Google App Engine, and it’s open-source and forkable on Github.

Here’s some video proof.

Last week London (AWS event slides), this week SIME (We won a price!), and next week there’s a music panel in Hamburg which I think could be very interesting (Here’s a pre-panel interview).

Yesterday I did a short presentation on SoundCloud at AWS startup event where I talked a little bit about our infrastructure also. On request, here are the slides:

I built a simple application and didn’t write a single line of javascript, css or html. And yet I could code and reload my browser and see changes reflected immediately. I think something like this is indeed the future for developing web apps.
