Show HN: Ambient soundscape generator for productivity

Very nice. Do you know why it caps out at 5 or 6 sounds for me? Once I've loaded that many sounds, even if I've turned them back off, I can't play any others unless I reload the page. Edit: Actually I think it's just slow loading. I think it might be useful to have a play/stop toggle instead of having to turn all of the components off.

That's really... what word to use? .... that's really fresh! I like it a lot.

Spent some time going to sleep with '10 hours of rain' youtube videos in the background. This is like all the soundscapes in one place. I particularly liked it when I found out I could layer jungle/paradise island and rain together... sweet.

Can you add an independent volume control (unless I've missed it....)? I like to play smooth jazz over stuff like this :). Especially the rain and fire sounds. It would make finding proper volume proportions easier.

Got it! we will add the volume in the near future.

Well done. How about a timer for using it to go to sleep?

The code is ready for this, have no time to implement it, surely soon.
