It's alright but there's way too much dish hitting. The talking is good but the kitchen cleaning staff is not only distracting but angering.

also, people with annoying laughs :/

I would rather go to my favorite coffee shop. Comes with great coffee too! Lately, this has been my routine a few times a week in the afternoon. The change of environment has been quite effective.

As getting the precise volume is so critical, it would be nice if the volume-slider on the widget were wider, making it easier to find the right balance.

I mixed it with some Claude Debussy radio on Spotify.

justin didnt understand html or css a month ago

Aha. Well, congratulations to him. Not being snarky, I just don't consider HTML or CSS 'code' (I always considered 'code' to be executable).

and you're right! snakiness, forgiven

I see lots of people talking about it not working for them. I find the idea Genius! I haven't got anything done today, I'm going to start now with your product + the pomodoro technique and see if I can get things done.

EDIT : Okay I really can't focus while having this on the background. But I'm sure it's because I'm doing math. A task that would require less focus would be better with that kind of background. I need silence right now.

I know people want their posts to be on HN front page, but rigging the upvotes is not the right way. (users RamzyIS,acecallwood)

acecallwood worked on this with justin, and ramzyIS is their friend. no rigging involved!

My bad. Anyway, site has nice UI.

I can't tell, is it the same track over and over again or a new one?

By the way, I absolutely love this. I'm 4x more productive in coffee shops compared to everywhere else and I never knew why.
