#52This is brilliant! I wish I had seen this a few years back!
Q: Generating higher quality sounds with a specified duration (e.g. within a 300ms margin) -- is it possible with your approach, is it hard, how would you go about that?
I'm asking because a few years back I had an idea for a breathwork/meditation app that would allow you to connect / control the breath duration using a gong sound. Example pattern: 4s in, 4s wait, 8-10s out. Next: use a feedback loop with the real user breathing pattern, slowly extend towards the goal.
Ended up with scaling it down to a "dot to stare at" + basic gong, because I realised how ridiculously chromatically complex the sound is. (my approach was to synthesise an envelope with a shape determined by time -- pity the fool who thought it was easy or even made sense!)

I got +100k people visiting it and still a couple dozen daily users running a 5+ min session, so I'm happy with it. But, the itch is still there, so I'd love to revisit my old nemesis so to speak :)

#53Fun concept. Absolutely carcinogenic approach to monetization.

#57Not a fan of the cookie dialog. Had to close the page as there was no easy way to reject the ad cookies.
Yeah, I'm no GDPR expert but it seems completely unreasonable that the "legitimate interest" numbers add upp to 2825. Even though there's probably some overlap, the biggest category is "Measure advertising performance (695 partners included)".
How does this dialogue help me control who gets my data or how it will be used?

#58I tapped twice and got nothing but sketchy popup ads suggesting I need to install a VPN. Does it work on safari mobile for anyone else?
Yeah, just have to make sure your phone isn’t on silent for sound effects in the browser.
Also if you use an ad blocker, which I highly recommend, you wouldn’t have seen any of the ads or other stuff most of the comments can’t seem to figure out how to avoid.

It's not even unreasonable, it's illegal under GDPR. You have to provide a reject all option (for rejecting all non-necessary cookies).

Same. I no longer tolerate this bullshit
