looks great. wish I could break it free from the browser though. a browser tab can't really be the backdrop to my work, and clicking into a browser tab just to view the visualization is an extra distraction -- defeating the purpose. Doesn't seem realistic, but I wish I could set this to be my desktop background without loosing the interactivity.

fwiw, I take sites like this and use chrome's option to make them stand-alone apps. (three dots -> more tools -> create shortcut -> open as window)

does anyone know if you could take a window and make it always be in the background -- the reverse of "always on top", say "always on bottom"? doesn't seem to be an option on Mac or in Gnome that I can tell but maybe there is someway to gain that functionality.

I’ve been compiling a list of focus inducing songs on Deezer. My method is to vet a random playlist by listening to it during an intense coding session. If I can make it through without getting distracted I add it to my focus playlist. I have a subsequent vetting process where - if at any point when listening to a song on my focus playlist - a song grabs my attention I’ll remove it. It’s grown to over 75 hours of mus…

Is it possible to convert this to Spotify or YouTube music?

I've downloaded few mixes with relaxing music from YT and created a playlist in my foobar, it's simple and it doesn't require browser. I also recommend some radio streams: https://somafm.com http://echoesofbluemars.org/ https://plaza.one/

Somafm digitalis has been my beat since 2008ish

I’ve settled on https://www.brain.fm/ for this. I really like how I can dial the music in for the desired effect. For me, it’s more convenient and effective than searching playlists.

Brain.fm was a good deal when lifetime memebrships were available. It’s not worth the current monthly fee.
