I'm not terribly interested in podcasts but I do love seeing what people create, so I gave it a click... and then couldn't back out to HN.

Why is your site back-button trapped?

I'm seeing this kind of complaint so frequently, it made me wonder if there is a software solution for it. Can we build a better back button?
zanethomas
Hold the back button down until you get a list, then choose.

Can the browser do this for me once it sees that a single button press sent me back to where I started? In AudioOne's case, it's /frontpage -> / -> /frontpage

It seems to work just fine in Firefox (on android, bit I would assume that doesn't matter). I see the pre-redirect page in the list when I hold back, but a single tap of back brings be back to HN.

I would imagine that it sees the `history.pushState()` or w/e without any interaction and knows that it's a dead state/page/(?).

> Can we build a better back button?

Yes, don't break it to begin with.

There's a local non-technical solution in the site guidelines:

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

rzzzt
I'm interested in whether a technical solution exists for the problem -- just so one could point to the Gobblesmack Browser or the RealBack extension in Chrome store (names obviously made up) whenever this comes up. That would cut down on the complaints as well.
pvg
Right clicking on the back button and left clicking on the 'flag' link on the complaints covers both reasonably well, if imperfectly.

Disrespect for the user.

If your desire to keep me on your side is, to you, more important than my ability to navigate as I please, then you're the not the kind of service I'm interested in.

While I'm commenting - your About page can't possibly pass accessibility guidelines for contrast ratios. It's very hard to read.

Come on man, it's just a faulty redirect that gets in the way. Fair feedback for the dev, sure, but no need to assume evil and disrespect.

Consider using sources like Filmot.com (YouTube) and ListenNotes (podcasts).

Really love the UI. Nice work!
wainage
Nice work. Love your layout.

Do you have any of the code on GitHub? Mainly interested in the collecting side of things, especially how you throttle collecting to remain a good internet citizen.

The other day I heard some radio personalities offering advice for anyone interested in live radio: 1) Don't. 2) If you do, get [personally] on the air as soon as you can, any way you can, any time of day.

I soon wondered: Rather than creating playlists only, will we have be-your-own-radio-personality shows online, on sites specifically structured to enable this? (Probably an outgrowth of streaming sites, which have all the rights secured.)

This sounds like that.

Gosh! I would love for that to be my job, just sitting here talking crap all day to an audience of 4. If I could afford it, I would most definitely just do that...

Go to a comedy club open mic night. You'll have a ton of fun.

Sounds like the Amp app that Amazon launched recently

If I use search, I get "An unexpected error has occurred."
carvking
Search doesn't work. Back seemed to work for me though.

Best of luck with it though.

Please, don't use that language. You are talking about a dev who dedicated many hours to building a service for you to call them that only because they have a faulty redirect they haven't noticed. Give the feedback without assuming bad intentions, most likely the developer did not intent to "hijack" the back button, it's just a bug (when developing I don't follow links to my own website from a 3rd party page like HN and then navigate away from it, if you have a redirect on "/" to, for example "/home" it's very easy to miss)

Oh gawd, so much hate for asking someone to not insult another human being. Don't you think it's at least a little bit ironic that now you regulate what I can say to someone?

Hi Tony,

Why do you hijack my browser's back button so I can't leave your site?

Since you're monitoring this thread on HN, I was going to point out an error on the site, but no matter how many times I pressed Back, I couldn't get here that way. I ended up closing the tab and going back to the HN home page.

Since you think your site is more important than my time, now you can go find the error on your own.
