BeerTuner: Rate Songs by How Drunk You Need to Be! | FunLab

BeerTuner is a fun web app to rate songs by how much alcohol you need to enjoy them.

The Backstory

Hey there, fellow music lovers and accidental connoisseurs of inebriated musical appreciation! I built BeerTuner because, well, sometimes a song just *needs* a few beers (or eleven!) to sound good. The initial concept was simple: rate songs based on your required intoxication level. The execution, however, was a delightful journey of curated classics, YouTube API shenanigans (some links were...challenging!), and surprisingly revealing community data. Seeing people's ratings and sharing their reactions has been the best part – it's like a global, slightly tipsy, musical taste test! The unexpected abundance of Linkin Park in the initial song selection was...a mystery. Maybe they're just *that* good when you've had a few?

How to Play

Discover a random classic song.Rate it on a scale of 0-11 beers (0 = sober perfection, 11 = only enjoyable completely wasted).Share your hilarious and insightful ratings with your friends!

Okay, I'll bite

I flipped through probably 30+ songs and rated most of them. The actual process was simple enough, but I had the benefit of seeing your explanation here. I think the rating system is phrased more clearly above than on the landing page

I don't see the utility in displaying "How many beers does this song need?" in small text at the bottom of the screen - that reminder would be better placed more prominently and in bigger text just above the rating options, and I'd reword it to something more like "How many beers would it take you to enjoy this song?" for clarity.

As far as technical and content issues

- For quite a few, the link was to a video that either wasn't available (for various reasons) or was for a completely different song (e.g. the song listed was "Since U Been Gone" but the video was for"Chandelier").

- And in a curated list of just 293 songs, I sure was delivered a lot from Linkin Park - including titles I had already rated

Fun concept and I can see potential for this to improve with a greatly expanded list and valid links.
