This project grew out of a personal need: listening to the music my friends shared on Facebook. As it isn't possible to create a playlist, I built an app for just that.
My second goal was to see how much I could build with as few user permissions as possible. Thus it is all Javascript and the like function isnțt integrated (those would require stream write permissions).
Unfortunately the initial poll for the user's stream takes quite a bit, so everything else was built for speed.

As not all clips are music videos, the app tries to identify them. It's not foolproof (as it's searching for certain patterns in the title), so it just signals the user of possible clips, it doesn't remove them automatically.
