Could the CPU load be reduced? If I am only on the page, not even playing any music yet (probably because something is blocked), I get 1 core up at 100% CPU load. This can't all be for an animated background image, can it?

Ouch you're totally right. I want to add an option to have static JPGs instead of GIFs. Already added to the backlog.

Video may be cheap, too: h.264 or WebM are relatively low cost on even reasonably modern devices.

Love the feel of the site. Curious about the tech stack used and as others pointed out, images attribution. Nice work!

Do you people really like such music?

I admit these backgrounds require a bit of effort to make. But what's the point? To use it as a screensaver?

Well it's not like I know a hundred lofi songs by heart or subscribe to lofi news but it serves as a nice background when I'm working alone in my apartment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'll add a little link to open the related YouTube video, it's much needed.

You are aware that it's usually a ToS violation to play YouTube videos without showing the YouTube player? https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum...

We're on hacker news and it's a cool tech project, who cares about some corporation's ToS?

I enjoyed this a lot, a great candidate for a native app.

Those background images could really use some artist attributions.

Yes, although I’d note that among people who listen to lofi music, the “anime girl studying with rain outside the window” animation is an extremely well known meme.
