Have you ever heard of Nujabes? He has a similar sound. This sound goes back to the early aughts when it had it's roots in underground hip hop.

Small correction: goes back to the mid-90's as a distinct thing, and you could hear that type of beat in songs even earlier than that. DJ Shadow brought it into general consciousness with his 1996 release: Endtroducing, but others were doing similar before. Back in the mid-to-late 90's, we were calling it "Trip-Hop". Though that was a broader term than lofi, which seems more specific. Maybe the ultimate origination w…

I would disagree that Trip-hop is more broad. Trip-hop seems much more specific.

As far as Endtroducing being the first instrumental hip hop album, I guess one could argue that. However, it's a bit like saying that Iggy Pop and the Stooges were the first punk band. Either way, even though both movements come from an earlier time it didn't get much attention until the following decade. It would be akin to arguing that grunge isn't a genre from the 90s because Dinosaur Jr. was around in 87.

sick, i like your ui @linuz90

i was reaching for a way to get a true full screen. maybe bind something to fire an Element.requestFullScreen() on #root or even just html

also i hit esc to hide the thing, then tried hitting escape again to reveal? idk if there is a way to do that or if it matters

Love this! Somehow it really drew me in and excited my imagination. Rarely have I had that sense of enchantment on HN.

The reasons what are ineffable to me. It was not so much "what it did" as how it was put together.

Haha, I built a super similar thing last year with even a super similar url ( https://lofi.chat )! https://lofi.chat/r/Hacker-news-310e9120 Good vibes only

I really like this idea, is there a way to add soundcloud streams to it instead of youtube? I'd like to link this from my soundcloud page.

Check out https://turntable.fm/ you can stream from soundcloud and colab on playlists :)

Great point. While not everything is appropriate to share in response to someone else's "Show HN" post, I've definitely seen (and appreciated) others linking similar projects. It usually is in the context of saying something like: - I tried this too, and can appreciate that you solved way harder things than we expected to have to deal with - I had this idea too but like your execution I think it's very fitting, espec…

Same. I love it when I see two creators of similar projects mash up ideas in the comments. That's the spirit of HN imo.

Same, please keep sharing folks!

This is tight. I love the little touches like the pomodoro timer and discoverable keyboard shortcuts. The UI is so cohesive as well, and has everything you need and nothing you don't.

Well done.

If it's only a few frames you might be able to arrange them vertically in a PNG and animate background-position to get the same effect for cheaper. Correction: you want to use transform to force creation of a new rendering layer, then when adjusting the rendered position of the element using transform will not cause a repaint.

Ouch. What's wrong with APNG? https://caniuse.com/apng

I figure it will have the same problem as GIF which is that each frame triggers a repaint.

Love that when I add it to the home-screen it has an icon. And, when I open it from that home-screen icon it has no navigation bar. I desperately with that more people would exploit the web technologies for more of these sort of apps. If I can play Cyberpunk 2077 on my iPhone through the Stadia web app, what isn’t possible?

Great work. Love it.

Can nobody make posts anymore without someone else trying to self-promote?

Maybe there should be a weekly/monthly “Show HN” (like the who’s hiring thread) where everyone can promote what they’re working on. Doesn’t have to be new things, even progressive updates would do.

Hey @dang, how does a free-for-all self promotion thread sound (minus the spam)
