On the wire

Your blog

Same cues.
Four ways through them.

Underneath everything you listen — that's the base every skin sits on. On top, pick how you and your readers move through the crate: dig, read, or scroll. We're launching on the one that hits hardest.

Dig through your crate
like it's 2004 again.

Scroll your whole library
with your thumb.

The iPod Classic skin turns your blog into a click wheel. Spin through years of cues, one at a time, the way you used to spin through 10,000 songs on a white brick in your pocket. The wheel is the navigation. The ring on the player is the same circle you're spinning.

Revolutionary? No. Perfect? Kind of. That's the whole idea.

↻ Drag the wheel — the highlight moves with you.

The three presentation skins

Pick how the crate reads.

A view toggle sits inside every skin too — list, grid, or gallery — the way Finder lets you switch. The skin sets the default; you switch anytime.

Not Like Us — Kendrick Lamar
This beat is a whole sermon. The way the bass sits under that vocal chop — it's not aggressive, it's patient, and that patience is what makes it hit harder than anything loud could.
Saturn — SZA
Sometimes a song catches you in the parking lot and you sit there with the engine off. This is that song.
Untitled (How Does It Feel) — D'Angelo
I need to talk about this record again because I don't think I did it justice. The production is so far ahead it still sounds like it was made tomorrow.

The four knobs

Under every skin, a little warmth to tune.

The skin is the paradigm; these are the trim. They shift the paper and the accent without ever touching the typeface or the crate spectrum — it always reads like CueCue.

Sleeve ground

The warm paper. Always warm — never clinical white, never dark.

Card surface

The raised card white. Shifts with the ground.

Accent

How Cue reads on the surface. Same token, tuned intensity.

Density

How many cues per screen. Skin-aware.

Your crate.
Your way through it.

Pick a skin, tune the knobs, and dig. Testing is open now.
