Add Collegiate Shag and Saint Louis Shag on an equal basis with Lindy Hop and Balboa.

It'd be great to have vernaciluar jazz and solo Charleston as an addition as it complements most swingdances very well

Add blues to the other swing dances

It would be nice to have toggle on/off button for the counts in the music showing 1 & 2 & 3& 4 &, etc... I find when slowing videos it can be harder to tell where in the music you are.

I like the idea of having an unorganised tagging system (references?) and a more organised tagging system for sections (tags?) But right now I find the tags to be too bloated and hard to understand. Can we have: * fewer tags * Clearer tags to make the overall organisation of videos easier. I'm quite experience with salsa terminology but even I am confused when see the amount of tags on offer. Still feel it's still too cluttered for an early product though. I shared some screenshot examples (For Cuban Dances). With the Partner work drop down it only has three options, so it's easy to see different ways of doing partner work at a high level. But then you look at the "Despelote" drop down and it has so many extraneous options (some of them are so specific they map to only one video!). An average dancer does not care whether they are rotating anti-clockwise vs clockwise for Despelote. And I don't know any user who will want to specifically find videos where the hands go up but not come down and vice versa (too specific) I would say test these tags with dancers of various levels and see how they navigate them. See what kind of things they are looking for (Beginners might search for fundamentals while Advance dancers might search for specific move variations). See whether the dancers get lost or overwhelmed by the options (I would assume most users will be overwhelmed by the options i've seen so far). Less is more. (Video going over choice overload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRBAjYGjsI ) What could help with this is having a standard view with only a few highly used categories and an advanced view with everything. Hope this makes sense, overall still good work

Atm there is a slider to navigate the videos which is very unhelpful. As a dancer I'd like to analyse the videos frame by frame to see the moves and different angles. The slider is too big and clumsy to do that and the videos are slow to load. Buttons to skip a second (a frame?) forward and back would be a fantastic addition.

Add explanations for tags/references or tooltips or something explaining whats are differences between dance tags VS references, VS advanced filter, this is not clear.

Misses the 5-second forward/rewind keyboard shortcut from YouTube on Dancelib when reviewing moves for better utilization.

While I know this is not planned for the moment, it would be very interesting in the long run to open-source the MyLib part of Dancelib, therefore allowing people with technical skills to host their own instance of MyLib. Of course, it does not prevent Dancelib to continue offering plans for hosting MyLib themselves, but it would offer an alternative for people who want to step out of cloud-based solutions and get back control to their data (like the app Immich does to replace Google Photos for example). Today, no dance-focused video self-hosted service exist, and MyLib would be the first to propose it, making it the only solution for people who would like a unique place to store and organize their dance videos on their own hardware, without relying on a third-party cloud provider.

While I do like the concept of Dancelib, I am only really interested in organizing my own dance library, but not so much in discovering new moves on the application. However, the price even for a single dance is quite high, given that I will not really use it. Therefore, it would be interesting to propose a cheaper plan that would include only MyLib, without offering access to any dance (or only the free trial plan).
