I feel like its really trendy to bash note taking apps nowadays.
I get it, theyre a dime a dozen and yeah spending hours on hours configuring multiple of them is probably a waste of time.
But why not take advantage of some of the nice software thats out the for this sort of thing? I wouldnt write down or rememeber half the stuff that I do if I hadnt invested a few hours into finding something id actually use. I doubt people are actually forgoing their creative passions or falling behind in their sprints to tweak note taking apps
For dance music, as a DJ, I find the best way is to find an artist through their song being played in a set I listen to, then check that artist's label for more. I can then buy / follow on Bandcamp to be alerted of new releases. I hear alot of talk about labels becoming obsolete nowadays, but they're great for this use case.
For ambient music, I also make a site (https://flowful.app) which procedurally generates ambient music for you. I have a Discord of people who use it, where theres a section for people to share music. Most of the new ambient stuff I find now is through there.
The fact that you'd consider making that switch is just awesome to me, so thanks! :)
For resources, theres a great site here as an intro to generative systems - https://teropa.info/loop/
And for communities, I have made a Discord for Flowful where I plan to post updates and how-its-made type stuff. The link is in the top right of the Flowful app, feel free to join!
That's a cool idea. Something that was suggested to me with Flowful was to use some sort of body triggers, perhaps from facial recgonition through your device's camera, to determine when the user was becoming less focused. The music could then adapt to help them get back on track.
XD yes! I want to jack my earbuds into the stock market: time and sales frequency denoting tempo and trade volume denoting dynamics; with a real time candle analyzer modulating between keys. Each company would be a different song!
When I was younger, I was into autohotkey. My PC would go off because of a powercut and the ups failed in 4-8 minutes while beeping.
Found "tonedet" or something that listens to a specific tone and does something via ahk which in my case was proper shutdown.
That was a success.
Then I thought of a project that would give me status via soundbeep,500,400.
I never got around to doing that but it wouldn't have been half bad.
Three small beeps in a succession, repeat, internet is down or some combination of deep or low beeps to say something else.
I remember the first time I assembled a PC (nineties), listening to motherboard beeps and comparing against the (printed) manual to work out what was wrong.
uhh, right now.. it's not the most user friendly. You can delete the fields that the site places in your localStorage (can be done by clearing your cache for this site).
The selections from the question just decide a) what's in your recommended section and b) what category you start on when you first load the app.
Sure thing. Further down in another comment I went into how the music is made, so I'll stick to the tech stack here.
The frontend is built with React, Chakra UI and Tailwind CSS. It also does all of the audio generation using a scheduling library called Tone.js.
Auth / Database are handled by Firebase, and payments are by Stripe. It's fully serverless; I use cloud functions for anything server side.
The samples themselves are stored in Google Cloud Storage, although I may need to look into a different method or making it more efficient, as today's traffic has absolutely smashed through the free downloads tier.
The dissonant intervals that were introduced by modern composers in the late 1800s and early 1900 by composers such as Rachmaninov, Revel, Debussy, and Varèse were hardly "pure".
The most amazing feelings often wash over me, in fact, while listening to these incredible composers...after a while the "atonal" notes will suddenly "snap" into place while my brain is somehow making sense of the music without my help.
It is truly a sublime moment when this magic occurs, and I'll often laugh out loud as the sudden transition from melodic confusion to understanding occurs.
What problem does this solve: Poor playlists / context switching when you get given something distracting in an ambient music recommendation algorithm. Also, hopefully, it's just nice music to listen to.
You are listening to the music of other people - mine. I made the generators, which were not trained on anyone else's music. It does not 'process tracks that were made by real people'. The paid element of this service goes to me, without X streaming service taking any cuts.
Computer-made generative music has been around since at least the 70's. Outstanding human-made ambient works have been made since then, which people love and continue to listen to. If this draws some attention away from 'actual musicians', then I'm sure they will survive.
I got the same error, it's related to WebGL being disabled when `privacy.resistFingerprinting` is enabled. The related error is `TypeError: this.minigl is undefined`
IANAL but that is not the impression I get from reading your terms and conditions.

A comment on HN is not "expresly provided in these Terms of Use" and don't think would constitute "express prior written permission." If you want to let people use it in their streams you might want to update the language there.
