Hey, Hackernews! We are working on a technology to help you focus. Endel generates personalized sound environments to help you focus faster, stay in the zone for longer periods of time and relax better. It's an evolved procedural version of everyone's favorite Music for Programming podcast.<p>We are currently going through Techstars Music program in LA and we need your help. We have created a web prototype of Endel that works in the browser. Can you please test it during one of your deep work sessions and provide feedback? There's also an iOS version available by request.<p>Please visit <a href="https://work.endel.io" rel="nofollow">https://work.endel.io</a> and see if it's working for you!
FWIW, the website just seems to load <a href="https://work.endel.io/8_stream.mp3" rel="nofollow">https://work.endel.io/8_stream.mp3</a> via an IceCast server. Huh.<p>And if your preferred media player doesn't like MP3s directly you can also use <a href="https://work.endel.io/8_stream.m3u" rel="nofollow">https://work.endel.io/8_stream.m3u</a>.<p>I've personally found good success with just wget (and mplayer).<p>--<p>Hmm. The sound is a little glitchy. There's one definite spot in the bit I've recorded where it's very obvious it just switched tracks.
I'm clearly missing something: I don't understand why I schedule a session instead of just starting one. Do I need to be a user of the Music for Programming podcast to understand this?
