What does "in this room: 25" mean? The number remains the same when I change the station. Is there only a single room and I changed the station for everybody? Or are there 25 people in every room (=station)? :-)

It's the current visitors. I liked the word "room" to make you feel like you're in good company, but maybe it'd be better to just write "live now". What do you think?

I'd go for "listening now" or "currently listening". I also assumed the "room" was the what I see now is called "station".

Counting the listeners in a station instead of visitors site-wide would be kinda neat though, and "room" works well then I think.

edit: or maybe "in the cafe" for site-wide visitors? That should be clear and has the same feeling as "room".

I'm not into elevator music but I understand some people might enjoy it. Do you listen to this while working?

I like in the room - I agree it is cozier - in the cafe as suggest below is also nice

Nice work! I'm starting a similar coworking stream on twitch today, also with lofi music but instead of gifs I share my screen and pomodoro timers. https://www.twitch.tv/pomber__

I love lofi, but I prefer silence when working. I listen to lofi mostly when contemplating about the meaning of life.

I wouldn't classify lofi as elevator music, however. But I love "chill" music in general.

What do you call the art style like this? It reminds me of a game called Va11-halla. I kind of like it, but it's frustrating that I can't name what it is. I see random Japanese texts here and there that are obviously made by non-Japanese people (they're awkward). "Foreigner's image of Tokyo's city life"?
