Toma.hk and Hatchet
In 2013 Tomahawk launched HTML App Toma.hk. It lets users enter artist and song names, then Toma.hk spits out embeddable HTML code that can be inserted onto blogs and websites, allowing direct links to playable tracks online.[5][6]
In March 2014, Tomahawk launched its cross-platform sync and social platform called "Hatchet" in beta.[7] Though still under heavy development, the service will allow users to see what other users are listening to and share playlists through the Tomahawk application. It also provides users playlist and "loved" track sync across multiple devices.
