Show HN: I made a Chrome extension that helps you focus with ambient noise

Hi HN! Been spending the last week or so hacking away at this side project. I&#x27;m hoping it might be useful to some!<p>I&#x27;m really big into ambient sounds when working (e.g. listening to sounds of cafés &#x2F; rain &#x2F; etc) and I find that they help me focus, since they don&#x27;t distract me as much as music. I typically use a number of sites (e.g. coffitivity, brainfm) or find a youtube playlist. Though, I thought this experience could be improved upon + I wanted to learn how to make a Chrome extension, so I made this.<p>If you have a moment to try it out, I&#x27;d love some feedback! Do you see it being helpful? What&#x27;s it missing?<p>This was meant to be a small project to get a bit of a break and scratch my itch to design&#x2F;code something, but I ended up getting really into it and can see this growing into something bigger (e.g. a productivity suite of tools) - any ideas on where I could take this would be awesome too!<p>P.S. made a quick landing page that has more details too - feel free to have a look here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rofocus.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rofocus.com</a><p>Thanks!
