Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Just sayin'

Maybe they will care when they get their account and maybe even any related accounts suspended.

I love lofi hip hop, so I wish good luck. But especially because of the exposure this might end not nice for the operators.

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.

Yeah, that's pretty much it; lofi is loud enough to drown out intermittent noise in the area, while monotonous and simple enough to allow you to concentrate on whatever you're doing instead of on the music.

It's not unlike elevator music.

This is great! Perfect background music for coding.

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?

So efficiency, much wow

Yes. This is a rip of chilled cow live stream on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A) that has 50,000 currently watching.

I really liked the cyberpunk Gifs. Who made them? As other said, attribution there would help.

All found on Giphy, will add attribution soon!

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

Thank you! It's a create-react-app, with a YouTube planyer running the lofi channels (will add proper attribution soon).
