Visited this on my Nexus 7 and got a message saying it doesn't work because mobile devices don't support the audio tag well. But they do support the Web Audio API! So why not use that?
@primigenus I will look into that, thank you!

Re: Chill out, listen to some rain
#82Hi guys, thanks for the comments, I'm Neil the guy who made the site. Long time lurker on HN but never posted hahah, felix is correct I am trying to gauge interest in the project as to whether to keep working on the site, so by signing up with your email I can 'A' justify to my fiance I should keep working on it and 'B' let you guys know who are interested when I push new features etc :) @Difwif yes you are correct t…
Hey Neil Very cool - I'm a big fan of rain too, it helps me sleep every night. I don't suppose you've considered the possibility of setting up some kind of live feed of rain sounds from places in the world where rain is very common? I think that'd be interesting. Obviously, no feed would be 24/7, and setting up the infrastructure for this to work would be a lot of hard work and probably a bit more costly, but it woul…
Hi basicallydan, yes that would be super cool, I have been thinking about how to get rain from around the world etc, I agree that would be awesome :)

#83I like the sound much better than RainyMood.com. Kinda weird feedback, but I actually find the images with people in them a bit stressful. When I think of enjoying some rain, it's from a cozy dry spot. Being where those people are just looks uncomfortable. :)
@exogen I am thinking of perhaps categorising the images, so the user can view categories or shuffle all, eg, nature, architecture, people etc also adding pause so you can sit on your favourite slide.
Re: Chill out, listen to some rain
#84is there some way to get different kinds of rain? Rainymood only has one loop. I don't want to listen to the same kind of rain every time; it's not realistic. A site with 10 different rain samples would be nice.
@intellegacy yes that is what we intend to do, have different rain types :)

#85Love it, it's oscillating between quiet and loud rain a little too quickly for me, is there a way to leave it level/even?

Please: let me buy high quality 256k mp3's of all this to put on my ipod. If i could buy enough so that i'd never notice repeated tracks, i'd love it.
http://whitenoisemp3s.com/sounds-like/rain They're $10 each but totally worth it. Pure, no human sounds, and over an hour long each. The woman who records them is a professional and her recordings are used by various industries, from film to video game developers.
Thanks, great site!
