just shipped my first personal website (https://subby.tech), and thought it would be cool to write a blog post dedicated to the people who've shaped my life and taught me something important.

i'm calling it my requirements.txt file.

instead of listing software dependencies, it lists my people dependencies: important people in my life that have shaped who i am, and what i've learned from each one.

(plus, i like the fact that i can go up to these ppl and be like "i've added you to my requirements.txt btw lol")

this was inspired by a site that my roommate (@aadillpickle on twitter) did (https://acknowledgements.aadillpickle.com/), and thought it was a clever idea and decided to steal it.

anyways, would love any feedback on my new personal site!

happy holidays!! :)

Hey, thanks for the question!

The main difference & significant improvement that our technology provides is its ability to not only extract high-level data (e.g. emotions, tags) from music (Echonest, for example, primarily emphasizes low-level attributes like beats, tempo, etc.), but also perform other important operations over this data (like querying by moods/tags, finding similar tracks, search by natural language, etc.).

So, in a way, our technology acts as an actionable intelligence layer over music, as opposed to just extracting & returning low-level data.

And yes, you could give it new songs & get back the extracted metadata. Plus, our commercial users can also integrate their own music catalog with our technology.

Thanks for the question! :)

Hi guys! Sorry for this delay!

Due to the immense feedback & unexpected surge in API key requests that we received from being featured on Hacker News, we've decided to open up access to our API platform to all developers! :D

So now, you can get your own API key at: https://galiboo.com

Our APIs are currently in early beta, so we'd love to hear any feedback that you might have! :)

Our API docs: apidocs.galiboo.com Our Python library: https://github.com/galiboo/galiboo-python

You can also join our LIVE chat (with us & other developers) at https://gitter.im/galiboo/Lobby

If you have any questions, please shoot me an email to subby@galiboo.com and I'd love to help! :D

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

We're working on a pay-as-you-go model for developers & personal use, which we'll have live in the coming days.

Until then, you can use a demo API key that we're currently in the progress of emailing out to everyone that had requested one. Thanks! :)

Oh, that would be really hard for a computer to do, but we're thinking of trying that after we nail this one. ;)

We only use the video's audio, not any other attributes (like text, title, description, & even the video itself). Thanks for the feedback!

Hey thanks for the feedback! :)

Thanks for the note! We're currently scaling our server capacity, so it should be resolved soon. Thanks again and sorry for this! :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're currently creating customized pricing for each of our enterprise customers, to better suit their needs. Our live, commercial catalog consists of a growing catalog of about 64M tracks. :)

Hi guys! We think we've fixed our API outage issue, so our APIs and demo should be available now, and be able to scale with demand. Hopefully everything goes well! Thanks for the patience & feedback guys! :)

the demo is still not working for me...

update: it's working
