What people liked
Very fast and responsive
From 3 comments
Wow. This feels vastly faster and more responsive than the PS3 YouTube webapp, perhaps by an order of magnitude.
mortenjorck on HNThis is insanely fast, I'm getting tempted now to dig more into Node.js
level09 on HNBlazingly fast. I promptly installed the Chrome extension. Thanks for your hard work!

Clean minimal layout

Nice layout. The - mostly - flat design is very well done.

No comments section under videos
From 2 comments
Good work overall man. Some feedback: 1. One of the things I dig on the Youtube interface is being able to see immediately how long ago something was posted. As I (and many…

Objections

From 2 comments
It would be cool if you could log in and see your subscriptions.

Questions
Why Angular over other frameworks
From 2 comments
Very nice. Why did you choose Angular over competing frameworks? I'm researching which JS framework I should invest my time in.
hackerboos on HNInteresting choice of framework, given that the PS3's YouTube application is built in AngularJS as well: http://blog.angularjs.org/2012/08/your-excuse-to-buy-playstation.html Did…

YouTube native interface
From 1 comment
One thing that drives me nuts about the new native interface is how it handles subscriptions. I mean the feed you get is actually not that bad, but it's way too cumbersome to get…

TangleTube
From 1 comment
It's really slick YT front-end. You should also (unobtrusively) include your TangleTube's [1] functionality in Toogles. [1]: http://tangletube.com/
