YTMND progress report
Added 2019-06-05 22:51:52 +0000 UTCHi pals,
We've been hard at work towards our goal of modernizing the player. I wanted to give you all a quick update.
From testing it appears almost all browsers will support FLAC, Vorbis/Opus, as well as perfectly gapless audio playback. This means YTMNDs should work on almost all devices, including phones and tablets. With FLAC and Ogg support, we should be able to convert some existing assets on the server-side and make YTMNDs load significantly faster with a huge bandwidth savings. Removing advertising and Facebook code will also help with the speed.
Sadly it doesn't appear there will be a reliable way to deal with the autoplay issue across all browsers and devices, so for now we're going to need a "play" button in most cases.
I have started the rewrite of the loader/player combo and should have some more to show hopefully by early next week. In the mean time, your help required in deciding on a new animation for the loader.
Here are the new options, I've slowed them down so you can see them in all their glory. Which do you want to be the face of YTMND?
For reference, the current/old loader can be seen here:

Like, the stars might take longer or less long to come out variable on the loading speed, but the text should fly into the frame consistently quickly on all systems.
