Very similar Brian Eno&#x27;s Bloom app in both design and sound. Except the GitHub data backend.<p>Some of my most productive work was done while listening to that app (and a lot of Brian Eno&#x27;s ambient output).<p>There&#x27;s an interview where he talks about how Bloom will never repeat in our lifetimes (or Reflections, one of the two). He wanted to achieve that with music for airports 1, but was limited by available technology.

how do trademarks work for this kind of thing. It&#x27;s cool and I enjoyed it but I did at first think it was an official GitHub project and my rudimentary understanding of trademark law is that it&#x27;s meant to prevent just that.

Naively optimistic part of me thought this was going to be some grand accessibility endeavour for sight impaired people, but this is cool too.

How does this website bypass blocked audio playback on Firefox? It doesn&#x27;t even require click on webpage.

A bit disappointing, I thought it&#x27;s going to be a GitHub for audio

For those wanting to try this, I&#x27;ll note that it didn&#x27;t play any audio in Safari so I had to switch to Chrome to experience it.

This was really so much cooler than expected! Might actually use it to replace brain.fm when working.<p>I’d love to see this applied as a general streaming API ingestor, or even used for live tailing log files and playing sounds that match particular events.<p>(This is where people will comment below with all sorts of examples I haven’t heard of, one of the reasons I love HN)

I love sites like these. I use to listen to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bitlisten.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bitlisten.com&#x2F;</a><p>Bit Listen was a bit distracting though, because it has some really oversized transactions.

Lichess uses this same type of nice, pentatonic audio to notify when pieces move

Wow like the author says, it is nice to leave open in the background :)

Any information on why are these sounds so pleasant? These are not random frequencies&#x2F;durations for sure.

R.I.P. laptop speakers.<p>Make sure you guys turn the volume down before clicking on anything.

I thought the volume slider was an Apple Watch for a minute.
