The Google Play Music web player, where a song file is dragged from the desktop onto the library grid and uploaded.

Today my team released a new lab for Chrome users that enables drag & drop song uploads and a pop out mini player. The excitement in the office was palpable and served to further energize folks, and reflecting on the experience I have a number of takeaways

  • Having real time metrics to watch is incredibly stimulating

  • Seeing other people and news talk about your work induces warm fuzzies

  • There’s nothing quite like launching when it comes to validating one’s work

I’m proud of the team and what we have accomplished so far, and I’m looking forward to more amazing work in the future.
